EID-FITRI : HON ADE ADEOGUN CONGRATULATES MUSLIMS.
The last few days have been challenging but rewarding. As it was prescribed for the Saints of old, fasting has been prescribed for us in order for us to attain some beneficial piousness.
We thank the Almighty Allah for strength and material supports even in the midst of the ravaging Covid 19. Like yesterday, the mandatory Ramadan fast is over.
It's imperative we commend our Muslim constituents for forgoing public lectures and congregational prayers that usually accompany the season of Ramadan as part of the measures put forward by relevant authorities to contain the dreaded virus. You have shown obedience and it's commendable.
Beyond being reverent of the dictates of Almighty Allah during the period of fasting, we must ensure that all the salient lessons of purity, prayerfulness, service, kindness, obedience and perseverance remain with us even after Ramadan.
As a people whose hope is solely in God through faith and unflinching belief, we must continue to pray for our land while we surrender all our might, knowledge, wealth and power for the development of our land.
We aren't unaware that the terrible virus will stand in the way of an elaborate celebration of Eid-Fitri but we are assured that our prayers in the last few days will be answered as normalcy returns to our land soon, Insha Allah.
On behalf of the Beautiful Brand, Hon Ade Adeogun, Member representing the good people of Akoko South East and West federal constituency in the Green chambers of the National Assembly, we congratulate all Muslim faithful on the successful completion of the Ramadan fast.
