Osun State Governor, Ademola Adeleke, has congratulated Muslim faithful in the state on the successful completion of the holy month of Ramadan, urging them to uphold the values of faith, unity and compassion.
In a statement issued by his spokesperson, Olawale Rasheed, the governor commended Muslims for their devotion and discipline during the fasting period, describing Ramadan as a time that embodies not only abstinence but also commitment to social justice, charity and community service.
Adeleke assured the Muslim community that his administration remains committed to protecting their rights, supporting religious institutions and ensuring fair inclusion in governance and development initiatives.
He emphasised that Osun State under his leadership would continue to promote religious harmony, noting that no group would be marginalised.
“Government policies and programmes will continue to reflect equity, sensitivity and respect for all faiths,” the governor stated.
Highlighting the significance of Ramadan, Adeleke urged Muslims to sustain the lessons of the holy month beyond the fasting period and continue to promote peace and social cohesion across communities.
He reaffirmed his administration’s commitment to people-centred governance, stressing ongoing efforts to improve welfare, infrastructure and economic opportunities for residents of the state.
The governor also called on the Muslim Ummah to use the occasion of Eid-el-Fitr to pray for peace and stability in Osun State, particularly at the grassroots level, while urging citizens to celebrate responsibly and extend support to the less privileged.
“As we celebrate this sacred festival, I assure our Muslim brothers and sisters that your government stands with you, listens to you, and works for you,” he added.
