The Member representing Ibarapa East/Ido Federal Constituency of Oyo State in the House of Representatives, Mr Aderemi Oseni, has called for renewed and fervent prayers for Nigeria’s unity, peaceful co-existence, and prosperity.

Mr. Oseni made the appeal in a statement issued by his Media Aide, Mr Idowu Ayodele, to felicitate Muslim and Christian faithful on the commencement of the holy seasons of Ramadan and Lent.

The lawmaker, who chairs the House Committee on the Federal Road Maintenance Agency (FERMA), described the simultaneous observance of the two sacred seasons as a powerful reflection of the shared values of sacrifice, discipline, humility, and compassion that bind Nigerians together.

He emphasized that the lessons of self-denial, humility, and service embedded in Ramadan and Lent should guide not only personal conduct but also leadership culture and civic responsibilities across the nation.

Mr Oseni stressed that Nigeria’s progress depends on collective commitment to unity, tolerance, and mutual respect, urging citizens to use the sacred period for reflection, reconciliation, and renewed dedication to nation-building.

Reaffirming his commitment to inclusive representation and people-centred development, the federal lawmaker pledged to continue championing initiatives that promote growth and improve the welfare of constituents in Ibarapa East/Ido Federal Constituency.

He wished Muslim and Christian faithful a spiritually rewarding Ramadan and Lent, expressing optimism that the sacred seasons would usher in renewed hope, stronger unity, and national prosperity.
