Governor Seyi Makinde of Oyo State urged residents of the state to continue to pray for the peace and prosperity of Oyo State, noting that the success of his government is hinged on the prayers and support of the people.
Makinde made this call in his message to Muslims on the occasion of this year’s Eid-el-Kabir.
The governor said that as long as the people continue to support his administration, the government would be able to deliver on its resolve to move the state to greater heights.
In a statement by his Chief Press Secretary, Mr Sulaiman Olanrewaju, Makinde said: “I use this occasion to congratulate the Muslim Ummah in Oyo State and, indeed, all residents of the state on witnessing the 2023 Eid-el-Kabir.
“I appreciate their prayers and support over the years and call for more prayers and support as we work round the clock to improve the lives of our people and deliver sustainable development as promised during the electioneering.
“My prayer is that Allah (SWT) will accept the acts of worship and sacrifices of our Muslim brothers and sisters.
“Barka De Sallah.”
