The statement reads in part: "With the sighting of the moon and commencement of Ramadan, I, On behalf of the Executive, Legislature and Management of Ayobo Ipaja LCDA, Hon. Yusuf Sakiru Adisa wishes our Muslim brothers and sisters a fulfilling month ahead.
"No doubt, this Ramadan will be particularly challenging but the values of compassion, charity and sacrifice are more important now than ever before. Islam is a religion of mercy, love and moderation, which calls for Peace, Justice and the renunciation of violence.
"May the spirit of Ramadan stay in our hearts and illuminate our souls. May the period bring good tidings and mercy.
"MAR ABA BIKAH YA RAMADAN", he concluded.
