 Sanwo-Olu felicitates Muslims on Eid-el-Fitr

Lagos State Governor, Babajide Sanwo-Olu, has congratulated Muslims in the state and across Nigeria on the successful completion of Ramadan and the celebration of Eid-el-Fitr.

In a statement issued by his Special Adviser on Media and Publicity, Gboyega Akosile, the governor urged Muslim faithful to sustain the virtues of spirituality, charity and peaceful co-existence imbibed during the holy month.

Sanwo-Olu commended Muslims for their devotion to prayers and sacrifices throughout Ramadan, noting that the period reinforces values such as compassion, generosity and support for the less privileged.

“I join millions of people around the world to wish our Muslim brothers and sisters in Lagos State and Nigeria Eid Mubarak. We thank God for sparing our lives to witness the Holy Month and celebrate this year’s Eid-el-Fitr,” he said.

The governor described Ramadan as a significant pillar of Islam, adding that fasting teaches discipline, self-denial and total submission to the will of Allah in line with Quranic injunctions.

He urged Muslims to continue to live in peace and harmony with adherents of other religions, stressing the importance of unity and mutual respect in sustaining the state’s socio-cultural balance.

Sanwo-Olu also called on Nigerians to pray for peace and stability in the country, urging citizens to work collectively for national development.

“As we approach another important juncture in our democratic journey, let us humbly ask Almighty Allah to grant peace across the land, guide leaders with wisdom and fairness, and ensure our actions reflect justice, unity and the common good,” he added.
