Oyo State Governor, Abiola Ajimobi, has wished Islam adherents across Nigeria a joyous and crises-free festival of fast-breaking otherwise known as Eid-el-Fitr, following the completion of the month-long Ramadan.
In a statement by the Special Adviser to the Governor on Communication
and Strategy, Mr Yomi Layinka, urged Muslims to be modest in their
celebrations and to be on their guard against terrorists who might want
to wreak havoc during the celebration.
“Let me on this occasion, congratulate my Muslim brothers and sisters
on the successful completion of the Ramadan. It is my hope that the
mandatory annual religious obligation will renew our strength and faith
in Allah.
“I want to enjoin Islam faithful to maintain their piety beyond the
fasting period and rededicate themselves to the worship of Allah and
obedience to His injunctions, especially at this period when our country
needs the prayers of the saints.
“They should not be tempted to go back to the various vices that they
jettisoned during the holy month. I pray that Allah should grant the
requests and prayers offered for themselves and families, Oyo State, and
the country at large,” Ajimobi said.
The Governor expressed the belief that with the dedication and
commitment of the Muslim community to the Ramadan as one of the pillars
of Islam, Nigeria would soon witness a socio-economic rebirth and peace.
He called on the people of Oyo State to continue to support his
administration in its efforts aimed at taking the state out of economic
doldrums.
He gave the assurance that there would be light at the end of the tunnel.
