IBADAN – The Alaafin of Oyo, Oba Lamidi Adeyemi, has congratulated Muslim faithful across the country for witnessing the end of Ramadan and celebration of the Eid-el-Fitri festival.
The traditional ruler gave the congratulatory message in a statement signed by his Media Assistant, Alhaji Azeez Fehintola, made available to newsmen in Ibadan on Sunday.
He urged his Muslim brethren across the country to continue to forsake sins in line with the injunctions of the Quran as observed throughout the fasting period.
In the same vein, the former Minister of Sports and Special Duties, Prof. Taoheed Adedoja, urged Nigerians to continue to show love to one, even, after Sallah. [eap_ad_1] Adedoja noted that it is only love that can help move the Nation forward.
“If the insurgents can show love, I don’t think there will be killing in any part of the nation.
“I urge Nigerians and Muslim faithful not to go back to the old ways which they forsook during the Ramadan period.
“They should ensure that they continue the good works of giving, forgiveness and tolerance regardless of our religion or ethnic differences.
“We should also cultivate the habit of praying for our great nation; Nigeria is for all.
“When there is peace in our land, the atmosphere will be attractive for all – both citizens and foreigners,” Adedoja said.
The former minister also prayed for peaceful election in Osun, saying Allah’s mind should prevail. (NAN)[eap_ad_4]
