In his message, Oyeyemi preached love for one another, peaceful coexistence and care for the less privileged members of the society, saying these are virtues which people must imbibe during and even beyond the Sallah celebrations.
The Corps Marshal called on the Muslim Ummah to be wary of bad driving habits by obeying all established rules and regulations guiding use of roads in Nigeria.
