As the yearly Ramadan fast starts today, Muslim faithful have been enjoined to use the period to pray fervently for the healing of the nation, especially of the present pandemic ravaging the world.
The Director-General, Ileri Oluwa campaign organization, Engineer Israel Ajibola Famurewa gave the charge in a statement he personally signed.
He said the Ramadan period signifies endurance and total submission to the will of Allah which is very much needed in human endeavors.
Honourable Famurewa said it is apt for Muslim faithful to embrace love as part of the lessons which Ramadan teaches, which is very much needed at this trying period the world is passing through.
The former lawmaker representing Ijesa South Federal Constituency also urged Muslims not to forget the government directives of no gathering, social distancing and personal hygiene in the fight against COVID-19.
He urged clerics who might want to pass messages across to followers to maximise the opportunity of the advancement in technology to reach their followers and not go against government orders.
Honourable Famurewa wished all Muslims in the state of Osun and Nigeria as a whole Ramadan Kareem.
