The Founder of Opeyemi David Falegan Foundation (ODF) Hon. Opeyemi David Falegan has felicitated with the Muslim Ummah in the state as they join other faithfuls in the world to celebrate the Eid el-fitr, which marks the successful completion of the Ramadan fast.
In a goodwill message signed by his Media Aide Adewumi Francis, the founder urged the Ummah to sustain the lessons of the holy month and replicate them in their daily lives for the good of the society.
He tasked the citizenry not to loose sight in face of the current socio-economic and security challenges bedeviling the country but to remain resolute and prayerful with faith that the nation’s trying moment will be over and Nigeria will emerge stronger and more united.
He emphasized that he will not condone any act that will undermine the peace and will remain focused.
Falegan enjoined Muslim Ummah to sustain the devotion and other acts of worship performed during the holy month as well as to imbibe the lessons learnt during this sessions for the good of the religion, society and humanity, saying Nigeria is in dire need of good people with excellent moral standings to overcome the evils being perpetrated by some few who do not mean well for the country.
” Eid el-fitr festival connotes sacrifice, selflessness, love and obedience to the tenets of Islam. I therefore enjoin us to draw enduring lessons from the Ramadan and show love to one another as well as promote harmony and peaceful coexistence among our diverse people.
“The same way we all remembered the less privileged and those afflicted by poverty during Ramadan, I implore us to carry over these attributes beyond Ramadan”, he said.
