Abiodun also called on the Muslims Ummah on sustaining the values, morals and tenets they observed and imbibed in Ramadan

He noted that though fasting is over, Muslims should strive to continue with total devotion to the Almighty Allah, in good deeds and constant remembrance as well as reverence to God.

The governor said that as Ramadan symbolizes holiness, dedication to the worship of Allah and carrying out charity activities, Muslims in the state should stick to these pious activities, even as the holy month comes to an end.

He urged the faithful to use the period of Eid-el-Fitri to supplicate to God and pray for peace, unity, progress and development of Nigeria and Ogun State.

Abiodun who urged Muslims to celebrate the festival in a moderate manner, however, reiterated that his administration will continue to encourage inter-religious harmony in the state, espouse good governance and ensure that people remain an integral focus of his policies and programmes.
