Ekiti State Governor, Mr Biodun Oyebanji, has extended his felicitations to the Muslims Ummah as the holy month of Ramadan commences.

Governor Oyebanji in a statement by his Special Adviser on Media, Yinka Oyebode, urged the Muslim Ummah to utilize the period for prayers, worship, almsgiving and support for the poor and the less privileged in the society to receive blessings from Allah.

Describing the 30-day fast as an important pillar in Islam, Governor Oyebanji said observing the spiritual obligation draws the faithful to the Creator and deepens piety.

While noting that Ramadan offers an opportunity for spiritual rebirth, renewal and rejuvenation which creates a strong bond between the Almighty Allah and the faithful, the Governor urged the Muslim faithful to be more steadfast in their prayers for Ekiti State and Nigeria so that greater level of peace, progress and prosperity can be achieved.

Mr Oyebanji prayed that the faithful be rewarded with the abundant blessings that come with the holy month, protect them to complete the fast and retain its blessings.
