Ramadan: Osoba felicitates Muslims, calls for prayers

Olumide Osoba has  felicitated Muslims in the state and across the country, for witnessing, yet another, Ramadan fasting.


This was made known in a statement personally signed by him and made available to newsmen on the commencement of this year’s Ramadan.


According to him, Ramadan is a period during which God accepts prayers and also a time for spiritual reflection and rebirth, sacrifice and kindness, as well as increased devotion and worship.


Ramadan, he  said, is a period to display more kindness to fellow humans no matter their religion, race or gender.


The house of representatives-elect said “Let’s be reminded that the essence of fasting in the month of Ramadan, as Allah noted in Qur’an 2 vs 183, is for us to attain taqwa (piety). We should, therefore, endeavour to make the most of this month by strengthening our commitment to the service of our creator, Allah and humanity……”
