Eid-el-Fitr: Senator Fadahunsi Greets Muslims, Seeks Prayers For Peace, Harmony In Nigeria
The Senator representing Osun East, Senator Francis Adenigba Fadahunsi (OFR) has felicitated with Muslims on the occasion of the Eid-el-Fitr celebration, urging them to direct their actions towards attaining peace and progress in the country.
In a felicitation message signed by the distinguished Senator, he said beyond spiritual uplifting, Ramadan fasting also taught lessons on tolerance and peaceful co-existence, pointing out that the lessons would be useful if everyone played his role in strengthening peace and harmony in the country.
“As our fellow Muslim compatriots celebrate Eid-el-Fitr, which signalled the end of Ramadan, I urge all Muslims to deeply reflect on the lessons taught by the blessed month by promoting values that will uplift them spiritually and also improve the condition of humanity in general.
“While we abstained from food and other luxuries in line with the obligations of the blessed month, we learnt patience, perseverance and courage as key values to our spiritual and material success. These lessons would further be useful in our lives when we play our roles in strengthening peace and harmony in our respective communities and also encourage others to do the same.”
He enjoined Muslims to pray for peace and progress in Osun and Nigeria. The prayers, he said, were needed as Governor Nurudeen Ademola Adeleke Jackson’s administration has set the state on the path of sustainable growth and development.
The statement added: “Beyond the spiritual attainment, Ramadan fasting also instilled the culture of tolerance and peaceful coexistence in us, which are part of lofty ideals divinely commanded by ALLAH (SWT) and preached by Prophet Muhammad (SAW). I enjoin our Muslim brothers and sisters to use this occasion of Eid celebration to pray for peace and progress in our dear state and Nigeria.
Signed:
Senator Adenigba Francis Fadahunsi(OFR)
