As Muslims all over the world celebrate this year’s Eid-El-Fitr, the Senator-elect of Lagos West Senatorial District, Dr Idiat Adebule, has joined President Muhammadu Buhari, President-elect Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu, Vice-President-elect Senator Kashim Shettima, President-General, Nigeria Supreme Council for Islamic Affairs and Sultan of Sokoto, Alhaji Muhammad Sa’ad Abubakar to felicitate with Muslims in the country.
In a press statement obtained by Theliberationnews, the former Lagos State deputy governor enjoined the faithfuls to keep up with the good deeds exhibited during the Holy Month.
She added that though Ramadan might have come and gone, the teachings and godly works must be sustained.
“The lessons learnt during the 29 days of fasting shouldn’t be eroded on the altar of celebration. We should be moderate in our celebration and continue to extend love to others. Our kindness to one another and service to humanity should extend beyond the month of Ramadan.
“Let’s sustain those virtues of self-purification, sacrifice, self-discipline, and being compassionate to fellow Nigerians. We should do away with all sinful acts that were discarded during Ramadan.
“Above all, our priority as a people should include praying for our nation to overcome its economic and security challenges”, she said.
She went on to hail the women folks for their difficult sacrifice of preparing meals for the family and generally taking care of the home front during the Ramadan, saying their sacrifices are appreciated and will surely be rewarded by the almighty Allah.
Also, she called on youths to eschew negative acts, channel their energies to positive things and join hands with the incoming administration to develop the country.
She concluded by urging Nigerians to pray for the president-elect, Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu and all those that would work with him for a successful tenure that will usher in renewed hope for our nation.
