Oyo Lawmaker, Ayotunde Fatokun has felicitated with Muslims as the world celebrates Eid-Fitr which signifies the end of Ramadan.
He admonished Muslims to imbibe the virtues, lessons and discipline learnt from Ramadan.
Fatokun who doubles as the Chairman Parliamentary Council, noted that the lessons and discipline taught by Ramadan could not have come at a more better time than now when the world is confronted by myriad of challenges, especially bordering on the economy and security aided by the coronavirus pandemic.
GOALPOACHER NEWS quoted Fatokun saying, “As a period of deep reflection, prayers, show of kindness and generosity as well as demonstration of love, the month of Ramadan came at a time when these virtues are needed to serve as a tonic for national and global rebirth and unity against the evils of insecurity and economic meltdown.”
“Indeed, the timing could not have come at a more opportuned moment when Nigeria and Oyo State need prayers from all well-meaning citizens to get it through this challenging period.”
“The administration of Governor Seyi Makinde without doubt, has positively moved the state forward from the near comatose state it had met it a year ago, and with the support and prayers of all of us, Oyo State is sure to whether the storm sooner rather than later.”
