Osun State Governor, Senator Ademola Adeleke has felicitated Muslim faithful at home and in the diaspora on the beginning of the holy month of Ramadan.
In a statement to mark the beginning of the holy month, the governor who emphasised the importance of godliness in governance enjoined Muslims to intercede on behalf of leaders for adherence to the will of God in discharging their duties.
The governor who described the Ramadan period as a month of spiritual rebirth, called for closer relationship with the creator of heaven and earth through fasting and prayers to achieve ultimate submission to the will of Allah.
While soliciting support for the needy during and after Ramadan, Governor Adeleke said the holy month is a period of intensive communing with Almighty Allah through humanitarian activities.
“This year’s Ramadan coincides with current misunderstanding among the political elites in our dear state. It is therefore a time for sober reflection, reassessment of viewpoints and an attention to the place of Allah in securing and exiting from power.
“As we fast, we must accept the divine prescription that Almighty Allah gives power to whom he wills. He elevates and downgrades. No mortal can upturn the will of Allah.
Governor Adeleke appreciated all clerics for their prayers and support for the peace and development of Osun state.
