The Edo State Governor, Mr. Godwin Obaseki, has sent a heartwarming message to felicitate with Muslims in the State, highlighting how crucial it is to emphasize the significance of sacrifice and love, during festive occasions like Eid-El Fitr.

In his Eid-El Fitr message, Obaseki urged Muslim faithful not to relent but intensify prayers for the nation to overcome its current challenges.

Encouraging continued prayers for the nation’s well-being reflects the governor’s commitment to unity and collective progress, noting that it’s in festive moments like these that reinforces the importance of empathy and understanding across all communities.

He said, “On behalf of the Government and people of Edo State, I extend my warmest congratulations to you as we commemorate the Eid-el-Fitr after the successful completion of the Ramadan fast.

“As you celebrate this joyous occasion, I urge you to sustain the lessons of sacrifice and love learnt during the Ramadan fast. We are in very difficult times, and it would take a great deal of selflessness and love to be our brothers’ keeper. So, I urge you to go the extra mile in extending a hand of support to friends, relatives and acquaintances as we press on.”

The governor added, “I implore you to show compassion to one another, as taught by the Holy Prophet Mohammed (S.A.W), especially at these trying times. Working and supporting each other, we can surmount our nation’s challenges. This is why it is pertinent to continue to pray and work towards building a progressive nation anchored on progressive ideals.”
