The Speaker, State of Osun House of Assembly RT. Hon. Timothy Owoeye has admonished Muslims to use the period of Ramadan to pray for the peace and unity of the country.
The Speaker in a statement by his Media aide, Kunle Alabi congratulates Muslim faithful for the commencement of the Holy Month of Ramadan saying it should also be a period for people blessed by Allah to remember the needy.
He admonished that the Month of Ramadan should be used to supplicate to Allah for peace to reign in the country.
Owoeye stressed that there can't be a better time than now for Muslims to rise up in unison to pray for the healing of the country from the menace of insecurity.
The Speaker said, "The sighting of a new crescent moon marks the start of Ramadan, a time for piety and self-reflection.
“I want all Muslims in Osun and the country to use the season as a moment of reflection, of prayer and of love-sharing among people not only of their faith alone but also of other faiths.
“We have no other country but Nigeria. Therefore, its existence, growth, progress and development must be of great concern to us all. May our prayers be accepted throughout the Holy Month and beyond.
“I urge us all to pray for peace and prosperity of Nigeria and our dear state, Osun".
