Ramadan: Let’s Return to Allah, Amosun Tells Muslims
Ogun State Governor, Senator Ibikunle Amosun, has enjoined Muslim faithful to
use the period of the holy month as an opportunity to engage in sober reflection
and absolute return to Allah.
Felicitating with Muslims on the start of the Ramadan fast, the governor said
they should not see the month as one of mere mandatory prayer, fasting and
Iftar meals, but engage in total abstinence, probing soul-searching, sincere
repentance and infinite atonement.
In a message signed by the state Commissioner for Information and Strategy,
Otunba Adedayo Adeneye, he urged them to concecrate their spirit, soul and
body, in total submission to Allah.
Amosun also enjoined Muslims to fervently pray for Nigeria, noting that “this
period in our nation calls for our collective and individual prayers for the
fulfilment of our aspirations and desires as a country and as citizens.
“We must use this holy month, like never before, to ensure that we are truly
sober and holy in observing all that is expected of us. By doing this, Allah, in
his faithfulness, will accept our sacrifices and answer our prayers”, he added.
The governor wished them a peaceful and fruitful Ramadan.
