Ekiti State Governor, Biodun Oyebanji has felicitated Muslims in the state and the country at large on the celebration of Eid-el-Fitri, which marks the completion of the Ramadan fast, urging them to use the season of sacrifice to seek the face of Allah.
The Governor, in his goodwill Message signed by his Special Adviser on Media, Olayinka Oyebode, said the holy month of Ramadan symbolizes love, self-denial and sacrifice and as such, Muslims must sacrifice all their personal interests to seek truth and justice as the holy Quran teaches.
While urging Muslims to use the Eid-el-Fitri to pray for Nigeria to overcome her current challenges, Oyebanji said it is only when peace reigns that Muslims and adherents of other religions can contribute meaningfully to the socio-economic development of the country.
“On behalf of the Government and good people of Ekiti State, I congratulate the Muslim Ummah on the Eid-el-Fitri celebration, and pray that Almighty Allah will accept our prayers, grant all our heart desires and preserve our lives to witness many more celebrations.”, the Governor added.
