Former Governor of Ogun State, Otunba
(Engr.) Gbenga Daniel has congratulated Muslims on the celebration of
the Eid-el-Fitri marking the end of the 30-day fasting period
charging them torenew their faith in Allah and pray for peace and
unity in the country.
Daniel, in a goodwill message signed by
his Media Officer, Ayo Giwa, said; “Muslims should be guided by the
spirit of the period of total abstinence, keeping away from vices in
all ramifications and imbibing the teachings and pious lifestyles of
the Holy Prophet Muhammad”.
Also, the former Governor urged Muslim
faithful in the country to uphold the lessons of the Holy Month by
avoiding all sinful acts that were abhorred and not allow them to
become part of their lives after Ramadan.
The celebration of Eid-el-Fitri, he
stated, goes beyond merry making but rather, a period of total
submission to the will of Allah as demonstrated during the fasting
period.” He then urged Muslims and other religious faithful in the
country to continue to have faith in Nigeria and pray for the leaders
while also calling on the citizens to reflect on how to contribute
meaningfully towards making Nigeria great and pray for greater
strength and unity in our diversity.
