•Urges to continue supplications after Ramadan
An astute politician in Oyo state, Alhaji Abdul-Rasheed Adebisi Adeyemi Olopoeyan, on Friday, congratulated Muslim Ummah in Oyo State on the successful completion of this year’s Ramadan and Eid-el-Fitr celebrations.
Eid ul-Fitr commences at the end of Ramadan and is a festival that celebrates the breaking of the fast. Muslims celebrate the completion of their fast and the blessings of renewed faith that have come with it.
Olopoeyan enjoined Muslims to reflect on the inherent lessons embedded in the month of Ramadan which include faith, sincerity, sacrifice, humility, compassion, giving, piety, and commitment.
According to a press statement made available to newsmen in Ibadan on Thursday, Olopoeyan said, “As the religious obligations of the month of Ramadan come to an end, I warmly wish the entire Muslim Ummah in Oyo state a joyful eid-el-fitr.
” May the lessons and blessings of the holy month also permeate into us and positively influence our attitude towards our fellow people, irrespective of religion or place of origin; and promote greater commitment to the peace, unity, and stability of our state and nation.
The seasoned politician advised Muslims to cast back their minds to the good virtues of the Holy month of Ramadan and keep to its teachings throughout their lives.
Olopoeyan called on the Muslim faithful in Oyo State to be law abiding during the celebrations and enjoined them to always remember the importance of unity, love, and religious tolerance towards the promotion of growth and development of the state and country.
