THE senator-elect for Lagos West District, Dr Idiat Adebule, has rejoiced with President Muhammadu Buhari; president-elect, Senator Bola Tinubu; vice-president-elect Senator Kashim Shettima; President-General, Nigerian Supreme Council for Islamic Affairs (NSCIA) and the Sultan of Sokoto, Alhaji Muhammad Sa’ad Abubakar and the generality of the Muslim ummah on the occasion of Eid-ul-Fitr.
In a message, the former deputy governor of Lagos State implored the faithful to sustain the good deeds exhibited during the holy month.
According to her, Ramadan has come to reform the faithful and teach them how to live a selfless and godly life.
“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,” Adebule said.
She commended the womenfolk for their sacrifice of preparing meals for the family and generally taking care of the home front during Ramadan, saying their sacrifices are appreciated and will be rewarded by Allah.
Adebule called on youths to shun negative acts, channel their energies to positive things and join hands with the incoming administration to develop the country.
The former deputy governor urged Nigerians to pray for the president-elect and all those who will work with him for “a successful tenure that will usher in renewed hope for our nation.”
