The statement read in a part, “Hijrah, being a commemoration of migration from evil to goodness, from darkness into light and from wrong doing to obedience to Godly commands provides even more important lessons to imbibe for us at this crucial political dispensation in the State of Osun. We must therefore ensure that individuals that will build on the gains of progressive governance in the State is given our full support. More importantly from the progressives camp.
Our state is blessed with sufficient human and natural resources required to migrate to a more prosperous and robust economy. Identified as the most viable vehicle to drive our economy is agriculture with value addition. We hope more will be done to empower our people in this regard.
May All Mighty Allah bless the Muslim Umah, bless the Federal Republic of Nigeria and bless the State of Osun.”
