LAGOS, NIGERIA – The Bobagunwa of Ilaro-Yewa, Alhaji (Chief) Waidi Haruna, popularly known as Wadoye, and his wife, Alhaja (Chief) Mrs. Memunat Haruna, the Yeye Bobagunwa of Ilaro-Yewa, have extended their heartfelt congratulations to Muslim faithful across the globe as they celebrate the 2025 Ileya (Eid-Adha) Festival.
In a statement electronically signed and shared with StarTrend Int’l magazine and online platform, Alhaji (Chief) Haruna and his wife thanked Allah for granting them life and the privilege to witness this year’s Eid-Adha celebrations.
“On behalf of myself, my wife and children, I extend my heartfelt congratulations to you all Muslim faithful all over the world on the occasion of this year Eid-Adha festival”, the statement reads.
Wadoye reminded Muslims of the deeper meaning of Eid-Adha, which centers on perseverance, belief, and compassion, drawing from the story of Prophet Ibrahim, who was willing to sacrifice his only son to God in fulfillment of a divine promise.
“The celebration also symbolizes total submission to the will of God; hence we should see whatever condition we are in as the will of God who knows why it is like that, and He has a purpose for it”, he emphasized.
Alhaji Haruna, who also serves as the Chairman and Chief Executive of Wadoye Express Ltd, a global freight forwarding and logistics company, emphasized that Eid-Adha is not only a time of celebration but also a reminder of Islam’s core values – love, kindness, and generosity.
“Eid-Adha encourages us to embrace these virtues and to strengthen the bonds that unite us as one people,” he added.
Wadoye also offered prayers for Allah’s continuous blessings to guide and illuminate our paths. He called on Muslims to nurture compassion, goodwill, and unity both within and beyond the faith community.
He further stated, “We should always see ourselves as the creation of the Almighty Allah, and we should not take the life or injure any human being that we can’t create.”
“As we rejoice, may this momentous occasion bring us all lasting joy, peace, and abundant prosperity,” said Alhaji Haruna, who is also the founder of the Abdul Waidi Islamic Foundation of Nigeria (AWIFON).
Together, Alhaji and Alhaja Haruna extended warm wishes to their family members, friends, and Muslims all over the world, praying for a blessed and fulfilling Eid-Adha filled with divine blessings, answered prayers, and lasting peace.
