Governor Abiola Ajimobi, on Tuesday declared that Nigeria as a country would soon witness a socio-economic rebirth and peace.
The governor stated this in his Eid-el-Fitr message made available to journalists in Ibadan by his Special Adviser on Communication and Strategy, Mr. Yomi Layinka.
Governor Ajimobi stressed that with the dedication and commitment of the Muslim community to the Ramadan as one of the pillars of Islam, the country would soon witness a socio-economic rebirth and peace.
He pointed out that there is the need for Islamic faithful in the country to maintain their piety beyond the fasting period and rededicate themselves to the worship of Allah and obedience to His injunctions.
“Let me on this occasion congratulate my Muslim brothers and sisters on the successful completion of the Ramadan. It is my hope that the mandatory annual religious obligation will renew our strength and faith in Allah,” he said.
The governor while wishing Islamic adherents across the country a joyous and crises-free festival of fast-breaking, advised them to be modest in their celebrations and to be on their guard against terrorists who might want to wreak havoc during the celebration.
“They should not be tempted to go back to the various vices that they jettisoned during the holy month. I pray that Allah should grant the requests and prayers offered for themselves and families, Oyo State, and the country at large.”
He then urged the people of Oyo state to continue to support his administration in its efforts aimed at taking the state out of economic doldrums, assuring that there would be light at the end of the tunnel.
