“During Ramadan, which is one of the important pillars of Islam,we were obliged to fast,shun evil actions, speak right and show love to one another.
“Above all,we should not draw back in our devotion to Allah,which is the ultimate of our faith,”he said.
The former chairman oluyole local government urged Muslims in the country to use the celebration of Eid-el-Fitri to reflect on their spiritual life as individuals and how they can contribute more meaningfully towards the unity and progress of Nigeria.
He stressed that without the virtues of brotherly love, accommodation and sacrificial giving, religion would make no meaning and peace would be elusive in the society.
