According to Oyetola, the state is gradually approaching a political era that requires prayer, unity and collective responsibility for the people of the state to continue to leave in harmony.

“I congratulate the Muslim Humar and entire people of the state for this year holy month,Ramadan Kareem, Ramdan is not like any other month; its purpose is to rid man of those habits which he has accumulated throughout the rest of the year. It is a month that prepares man for the remaining eleven months by teaching him discipline and self-control.

“This blessed month has been sent by Allah to His bondsmen so that he can create a connection and draw men closer to Allah by reaping the many rewards in the holy month.  In this month we will be given many opportunities, to reform ourselves and seek forgiveness for our sins. This is a month of reformation and self-reflection”.

“We must however use this month to pray for Governor Rauf Aregbesola, and the state, most importantly as we are approaching the gubernatorial election, that Allah may  protect us and ensure peaceful political transition in the state.” Oyetola said.
