Oyo governor urges Muslims to uphold Ramadan lessons for unity, progress
Oyo State Governor Seyi Makinde has charged Muslim faithful in the state and across the country to imbibe the lessons of Ramadan.
This is contained in a felicitation message issued in Ibadan on Saturday by his Chief Press Secretary, Dr Sulaimon Olanrewaju, to the Muslim Ummah on the occasion of the 2025 eid-el-fitr.
Mr Makinde congratulated the Muslim faithful on the successful completion of Ramadan 2025.
He hailed them for their endurance, faith, sacrifices, and trust in Allah throughout the holy month.
He stated, “I congratulate my brothers and sisters in Islam on the occasion of eid-el-fitr, which signals the end of Ramadan. I particularly laud them for their perseverance, faith, trust in Allah, sacrificial living, and good neighbourliness, among other virtues demonstrated before and during the fasting.”
He charged them to continue to uphold these values, pray, support the government at all levels, and work together to sustain the religious harmony enjoyed in Oyo State.
He said, “As an administration, we have made a commitment to continue putting the people’s interest first and developing our great state sustainably. But we cannot achieve this in an atmosphere of religious disharmony and intolerance.”
