The Executive Chairman of Egbe-Idimu Local Council Development Area, Honourable Habeebulahi Kunle Sanyaolu Olowoopejo (KSO) fpa. has sent his greetings and best wishes to Muslims in the LCDA and across the world, as they commenced the 30-day Ramadan fast.
In his speech, he reminded the Muslims faithfuls that fasting was not just meant to stay hungry or thirsty, but it is an opportunity to strive for inner purification, self-accountability, inculcate righteousness and discipline.
He also enjoined fasting Muslims to increase their love for humanity, acts of charity, kindness, generosity and gratitude.
While saying the Holy Prophet Muhammad (SAW) used to spend generously on the poor and the needy during this period, the council helmsman urged Muslims Ummah of the LCDA to copy that good example.
He called on Muslims and all Nigerians to always remember men and women who are less fortunate than themselves and to help the government in confronting the challenges facing the Nation.
He prayed to Allah to grant all the Muslims the needed strength to successfully complete the fasting period.
