Speaker of the Ogun State House of Assembly, Rt. Hon. (Prince) Olakunle Taiwo Oluomo, has asked Muslims to imbibe the lessons of Ramadan,by renewing their committment to promotion of peace and national growth, as they celebrate this year's Eid-el Fitri
Oluomo urged the entire ummah ( muslim community) in the State to use the festive period to reflect on the deep spiritual significance of humanity, above any form of adversity.
The Speaker in a statement by his Special Assistant on Media & Publicity, AbdulGhaffar Adeleye, admonished all faithful to allow the lessons learnt during the spiritual exercise of faith through self -cleansing, discipline, dedication and sacrifice reflect in their endavours and dealings with fellow men towards engendering peaceful co-existence to aid national development.
His words,“The nation’s current challenges could be surmountable through fervent prayers and patriotic belief in the oneness of Nigeria.
The several activities of Ramadan; daily Tefsirs, Tahjuds, Ramadan Lectures and Laylatul Quadri programmes amongst others should effect the desired change in our daily dealings with ourselves as a people", he added
Let’s place humanity first, banditry, kidnapping, crimes and other vices have no place in any religion. Hence, this year’s Eid-el-Fitri celebration should be a period to reflect on the deep spiritual significance of humanity, above any form of challenges,” he counseled
The Speaker therefore appealed to the people of the State to endeavor to follow all government’s guidelines towards combating COVID-19, while praying that the scourge becomes history in no distant time.
