The erstwhile Kosofe Local Government Chairman, Barr. Ademuyiwa Adedeji, has called on Muslims to pray for the unity of the country during the holy month of Ramadan and continue to seek Almighty Allah’s blessing on the country.

Adedeji urged the Muslim faithful to use the Ramadan period to unite its people and bring relative peace, sustainable progress, and development to the nation.

He emphasised the importance of complying with the principles of the holy month to maximize the spiritual and physical benefits inherent in the month. Adedeji also prayed for a successful beginning and ending of the 30 days of fasting.

The former chairman thanked the Muslim community for its overwhelming support for Gov. Babajide Sanwoolu, Hon. Sanni Ganiu Okanlawon, and Hon. Femi Saheed during the just concluded election.

He used the opportunity to thank Nigerians who contributed to the peaceful general elections across the country and the state in particular.

He appreciated the electorate who massively voted for candidates of the All Progressives Congress (APC) in Presidential, Gubernatorial, National and State Assemblies elections.

He emphasised the need to pray for Nigeria’s progress and development as the country faces many challenges.

He maintained that the holy month of Ramadan is the perfect period to pray for peace, unity, and progress in the country.

“As Nigerians, we must come together and work towards building a better future for our country,” he said.
