An Oyo State gubernatorial aspirant on the platform of the All Progressives Congress (APC), Dr Ololade Usman Bakare, has extended warm felicitations to the Muslim Ummah in Oyo State and across Nigeria on the occasion of Eid al-Fitr.
In a goodwill message marking the end of the holy month of Ramadan, Bakare described the celebration as a significant moment that reflects the successful completion of 30 days of fasting, prayer, sacrifice, and renewed devotion to faith and humanity.
The cybersecurity expert noted that Eid-el-Fitr is not only a time for joy and celebration but also an opportunity for Muslims to uphold the virtues of love, unity, generosity, and compassion imbibed during Ramadan.
He emphasized that the festive period should serve as a reminder for Muslims to continue supporting one another, particularly the less privileged, while working collectively towards building a more just, peaceful, and prosperous society.
“As a gubernatorial aspirant in Oyo State and founder of the Igbega Oyo Initiative, I am inspired by the resilience, patience, and spiritual strength demonstrated by my Muslim brothers and sisters during the holy month of Ramadan. These values are essential as we strive to overcome the socio-economic challenges facing Oyo State and Nigeria at large,” he said.
Bakare further urged Muslim faithful to sustain the lessons of Ramadan by promoting tolerance, peaceful coexistence, and mutual respect across religious and ethnic lines.
He also prayed for the acceptance of the prayers, fasting, and good deeds of the Muslim Ummah, wished them a peaceful and joyous Eid celebration.
