Uphold lessons of love and justice, Ahmed advises Muslims

GOVERNOR Abdulfatah Ahmed of Kwara State has congratulated Muslims for successfully undertaking the Ramadhan fast, urging them to remain connected to virtues of love, compassion and generosity.

“As we mark the end of the holy month of Ramadhan, let’s remember and pray for our brothers and sisters who were unfortunate victims of the Offa robbery. Let’s remember their families, friends and associates in our prayers and generosities”, the governor said.

In a statement signed by his Chief Press Secretary, Abdulwahab Oba, the governor enjoined Muslims to uphold lessons of endurance, perseverance and piety that the holy month teaches to “endure the pains inflicted in our hearts by the Offa robbery”.

As the country moves toward the 2019 general elections, Gov Ahmed also urged Nigerians to pray for a peaceful political transition.

Gov Ahmed called for unity and commitment by all stakeholders towards his government’s efforts to ensure equitable distribution of infrastructure and social amenities across the state.

The governor urged everyone to be law-abiding and go about their lawful business peacefully as they celebrate Eid-el-Fitri, “as the government will ensure law and order”.
