…Urges Them To Continue Supplications After Ramadan

A politician in Oyo State, Alhaji Abdul-Rasheed Adebisi Adeyemi Olopoeyan has congratulated Muslim Ummah in the state on the successful completion of this year’s Ramadan and Eid-el-Fitr celebrations.

Eid-El-Fitr is celebrated at the end of Ramadan every year.

Muslims use the opportunity to celebrate the completion of their fast and the blessings of renewed faith that come with it.

Olopoeyan enjoined Muslims to reflect on the inherent lessons embedded in the month of Ramadan, which he said include faith, sincerity, sacrifice, humility, compassion, giving, piety, and commitment.

According to a press statement released by him and 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,” he said.

The seasoned politician advised Muslims to cast their minds back to the good virtues of the Holy Month of Ramadan and keep to its teachings throughout their lives.

Olopoeyan called on 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 the country.
