A former member of the House of Representatives, Hon. Gbenga Peter Makanjuola, has congratulated Muslims in the state and the world over on the commencement of the Islamic Holy Month of Ramadan.
The legal luminary in a statement by his media team, said Ramadan offers another chance for Muslims to rededicate themselves to the worship of Allah.
Describing the Ramadan fast as an important pillar of Islam, Makanjuola said the fasting period humbles both the rich and the poor who are both expected to go without food and drink between sunrise and sunset for 29/30 days.
Makanjuola urged the adherents of the Islamic faith to use the period for spiritual cleansing and healing and also to pray for the peace of Kwara state in particular and Nigeria in general.
He also used the opportunity to call on Nigerians, regardless of religion differences to love one another and live together in peace which Kwara is known for in Nigeria.
The Deputy Chief of Staff to the President of the 8th Senate, however, prayed for a successful, peaceful and rewarding month of devotion.
