The lawmaker, representing Abeokuta South State Constituency II, Ogun State, Hon. Igbalaye Wasiu Ayodele, popularly known as IWA has admonished Muslim faithful to sustain the lessons of sacrifice, discipline and love learnt during the period of Ramadan beyond this period.

IWA said Nigerians must use the period for a sober reflection on the state of things in the country,  urging them to pray fervently for the peace and tranquility of the nation.

Congratulating the Muslim Ummah for completing one of the Five Pillars of Islam, he  said “Remember that moderation is important in everything you do during this period.”

IWA maintained that the Muslim faithful has gone through one of the most rigorous Islamic obligations of one month fast and prayers as well as other forms of worship and urged all believers to imbibe the lessons learnt during the Ramadan period through sacrifices, almsgiving to the needy, continuous exhibition of piety as well as charity to one another.

“The Holy Month of Ramadan is an opportunity for our Muslim brothers and sisters to deepen their relationship with Allãh, promote a life of sacrifice, charity, and love for one another,”

He  also noted that the period of the Eid celebration was a clarion call for Nigerians to imbibe the lessons of the season, such as selfless service to God and humanity as well as a sincere commitment to righteous conducts in private and public life.

“Let us remember we are one people and continue to encourage one another to contribute to peace and unity amongst us. This will ultimately ensure our country remains the great nation that we are all proud of.”

IWA reiterated the determination of his  administration to deliver democratic dividends and called for cooperation from all citizens of the local government to enable government succeed.
