As Muslim faithful celebrate Eid-el-Fitr globally, a chieftain of the All Progressives Congress in Ekiti State, Dr. Olusegun Osinkolu, has tasked Nigerians on peaceful coexistence, national integration and sticking to the lessons of Ramadan, which proffers solutions to challenges confronting humanity.
Osinkolu made the call in a statement he personally signed, on Tuesday, congratulating the Muslim Ummah on the completion of Ramadan fasting.
The APC stalwart stated that the teachings of Ramadan were centred on humanity, kindness, peace and love, saying these should reflect in the conduct of every Nigerian for the country to progressively attain developmental height in all facets.
The Patron, Tinubu Solidarity Vanguard, urged all Muslims to ensure that the lessons which they had learnt during the Ramadan season and their act of devotions remained a consistent way of life even after the 30-days exercise.
Osinkolu noted that Ramadan as a pillar of islam was a season of several teachings that centred on humanity, kindness, peace and love, saying if these lessons were imbibed many of the problems in the country would reduce.
He also extended his felicitations to all Muslims all over the country, particularly in Ekiti on the successful completion of the 2024 Ramadan Fast, urging them to always sustain their support for President Bola Ahmed Tinubu and Governor Biodun Oyebanji at the Ekiti subnational cadre .
The APC Chieftain thanked Allah for keeping everyone who had witnessed the end in strength and health, using the opportunity to again harp on the gains of our peaceful coexistence and national integration.
“Nigeria’s greater achievements as a nation lies in us being united and not allowing ethnic, religion and political party affiliations divide us.
“The various sectional agitations would never emerge in the interest of anyone, instead we should collectively proffer solution to the numerous ills of our nation through effective democratic participation,” he said.
Osinkolu further restated the commitment of Governor Oyebanji’s administration to ensuring that Ekiti and its people continued to enjoy the dividends of democracy, which he said, could only be guaranteed when the lives and property of people were safe.
