A Muslim cleric, Sheik Hassan Olowo, has advised Nigerians to love one another, especially those living with disabilities and the less privileged.
Olowo, the chief imam of Ojikutu Central Mosque, Oyingbo, Lagos spoke at a Valentine’s Day get-together organised by the Centre for Disability Issues (CDI), with the theme: ‘Disabled deserves to be loved’.
He said: “There is no way you will assist others, especially people living with disabilities and other less privileged people and you will not be rewarded by God. I’m a living testimony.”
CDI Coordinator Comrade Kehinde Oshilaja said: “We have come as an organisation to make our members happy and feel the impact of being loved, especially today that the world is celebrating the lovers’ day. We also want to praise God as a people, despite our plight and disabilities.”
