As Muslims begin the Ramadan period, the Kwara State Governor, AbdulRahman AbdulRazaq, felicitated Muslims and urged the faithful to pray that the nation, Nigeria, experience peace and orderliness.
In a statement revealed by the Chief Press Secretary to the governor, Rafiu Ajakaye, the governor stated that he “has joined the Muslim community to welcome Ramadan, in the ninth lunar month during which the fast is prescribed for every healthy adult Muslim.
“The governor appealed to the faithful to pray for the country and the human community for guidance, peace, ease, abundant and lawful provisions, and improved security of life and property.”
Furthermore, it was described that AbdulRazaq expressed gratitude to Allah and also rejoiced with the Emir of Ilorin, Ibrahim Sulu-Gambari, and the entire community on the dawn of the month for being faithful to their leadership.
He hence encouraged the faithful “to make the best use of the special month to earn multiple rewards by extending good wishes, giving more alms, increasing support for one another in good deeds, and observing all the ethics of fasting, including more recitation of the Qur’an that was revealed in the same month.
