The wife of the Osun State Governor, Mrs Kafayat Oyetola, has called on Muslims faithful to continue to pray for the state during the month of Ramadan.
The Osun First Lady made the call during the Tafsir programme held at the Government House in Osogbo on Wednesday.
Speaking with AMILOADED, Mrs Oyetola, described the programme as a way of giving to the people.
“Generally, during the period of Ramadan it’s always good to give and show love to people. We are all one, for the betterment of the society we should try to assist one another.
“This is a holy month and the month of forgiveness. My advice to the Muslims is to continue to obey the law of God, fear God, love one another and stay away from sin,” the Osun First Lady said.
She urged the Muslim faithful to use the period of Ramadan to pray to Almighty Allah for Osun State and Nigeria at large over the challenges of insecurity bewildering the country.
The Osun First Lady further assured that the governor, Amotekuns, vigilantes, and the police are not resting on their oars towards securing the residents of the state.
On his part, the public speaker of the programme, Dr Abdulrosheed, who delivered a lecture on the importance of Ramadan in the life of human and in the society, said, “Fasting was commanded by God to renew our lives and to reinforce our connection with Him.”
He added that “fasting serves as a guide to live in God’s way rather than humans.”
