The Planter Christ Apostolic Church Worldwide, Prophet Ade Ologbonyo has called on Muslims to use the period of Ramadan to pray for Nigeria to get out of her multifaceted challenges.
Prophet Ologbonyo who congratulated Muslims in Ekiti State and Nigeria at large on the commencement of the Ramadan fast said with prayers and right actions the country’s economy will bounce back and the renewed insecurity stemmed.
The cleric in a statement he personally signed and made available to newsmen said fasting was not just merely meant to stay hungry or thirsty but an opportunity to strive for inner purification and self-accountability.
Prophet Ologbonyo also enjoined fasting Muslims to increase their love for humanity, acts of charity, kindness, generosity and gratitude.
He called on Muslims and all Christians to always remember men and women who are less fortunate than themselves.
The man of God who added that Ramadan is meant to inculcate righteousness and discipline, also urged Muslim faithful to use the fasting period to pray for Governor Biodun Oyebanji in his determination to take the state to the greater heights.
“Fasting – during Ramadan or for other reasons – is one of the Five Pillars of Islam, the others being faith, prayer, charity and the pilgrimage to Mecca.
“I enjoin Muslim faithful to use this fasting period to pray for the Nigeria economic recovery, peace and security.
“We should also pray for our President Bola Ahmed Tinubu and Governor Biodun Oyebanji to succeed in his determination to take the state to the greater heights.”
Ologbonyo urged the people of Ekiti to remain committed to the development of the state.
