Ramadan : Gov Abiodun urges Muslims to supplicate before Allah for Nigeria to overcome her numerous obstacles.
Ogun State governor, Dapo Abiodun, has felicitated with Muslim Umah across the country and particularly in Ogun, on the beginning of fasting in the Holy Month of Ramadan.
In a statement signed by his Chief Press Secretary, Kunle Somorin, on Saturday, Abiodun described the month Ramadan as one with abundant mercy of Allah, acceptance of prayers and forgiveness, calling on faithful to use the opportunity to pray for the nation and the state.
He said the Holy Month with its attendant virtues should serve as a guide, moral and spiritual compass for the Muslims, urging them to uphold the tenets of Ramadan.
Abiodun, who stated that the country is passing through various challenges, said Muslims should endeavour to supplicate before Allah in order for Nigeria to overcome the socioeconomic and security obstacles.
He added that as the month demands the faithful to engage in doing more good deeds and giving to the needy, the governor charged Muslims to be their brother’s keepers and extend love to the less privileged.
While praying Allah to make the fasting easy and less-stressful for the Muslim Umah, Abiodun also pray that the fasting will be accepted as act of worship by Allah.
