As Muslim Faithfuls mark the end of the month-long Ramadan fasting and prayers, Peoples Democratic Party’ PDP s Aspirant for Oyo North Senatorial District, Hon Akinwale Akinwole, has urged them to continue on the path of spirituality and peaceful co-existence.
Akinwole in his Eid-el-Fitri message congratulates the Muslims in Oke Ogun, Ogbomoso, and Oyo State.
He said the occasion of Eid-el-Fitri is very significant to Muslims across the world as it marks the end of one-month abstinence from worldly pleasures with fasting and prayers, observed in accordance with the Islamic injunctions.
“Today, I join millions of people around the world, to wish our Muslim brothers and sisters in Oyo state and Nigeria happy Eid-el-Fitri.”
The Ogbomoso-born entrepreneur added that “For the Muslims, today’s celebration is very unique. It is a feast to mark the end of a month-long spiritual renewal following thirty days of fasting and other religious acts.”
“Ramadan is a period you deny yourself the worldly pleasures, turn to your creator for total cleansing, and uphold other religious values.”
“Such values as the reaffirmation of your duty to serve one another, helping the poor and the vulnerable in the society, offering gratitude, showing compassion and generosity among other good deeds that guide your faith,” he said.
