Eid-El-Fitri: Obeisun Felicitates Muslims, Calls For Prayers For LGA, State And Nigeria
Oriade Local Government Chairman, Hon. Bunmi Obeisun has congratulated Muslims in the local government and beyond on the successful completion of the month-long Ramadan fasting.
The chairman expressed gratitude to Muslims and residents of the local government for remaining steadfast despite the situation imposed on the local government by the COVID-19 pandemic.
The chairman equally rallied them to use the auspicious occasion of the Eid-el-Fitri to make supplications for themselves, the local government, state and Nigeria.
A statement signed by his media assistant Olayinka Rafael, quoted Hon. Bunmi Obeisun as saying that it was regrettable that Muslims in the local government and across the country cannot observe Eid-el-Fitri prayer this year the usual way, adding that the situation should be seen as “part of the sacrifice we all have to make at this time.”
He said: “It is gratifying to note that we are concluding this year’s Ramadan on a good note.
“Despite the current COVID-19 pandemic ravaging the whole world, the Almighty Allah allowed Muslims in Oriade Local Government to join the Muslim Ummah in making supplications for the forgiveness of our sins.
“I remain grateful to my Muslim brothers and sisters and residents of the local government for remaining steadfast despite the situation imposed on us by the COVID-19 pandemic.”
Honourable Bunmi sought for the continued support and cooperation of the Muslim Ummah and all residents of the local government in adhering to the COVID-19 protocol such as wearing of face masks, observing social distancing, regular washing of hands and eating of immune-boosting foods and others, as directed by the State Of Osun COVID-19 Task Force.
He promised to continue to make life more meaningful to all residents of the local government. I solemnly promise that we shall continue to make life more meaningful to all the people of Oriade local government through policies and programmes that are godly and humane.
“As we look forward to an end to the current gloom and a return to normalcy, let us continue to work together for the safety, wellbeing and prosperity of our state.
“Once again, I felicitate our Muslim brothers and sisters and our community,” the chairman said.
