Balogun Olaniyi Afeez (BOA) wishes all Muslims across the State and Abeokuta South a peaceful and joyful Eid al-Fitr.
Reflecting on Ramadan’s lessons of compassion, Unity and Mutual respect, Balogun has appealed to Muslims in the state & the nation,to reflect on the significance of the RAMADAN as a religious obligation and put to use the spiritual lessons learned during the period of the 30-days Ramadan fast.
Today, we're not celebrating end of dawn to sunset fasting but to pay respect to Almight Allah (SWT) for giving us the strength to practice self control during the month long rituals of rigorous fasting and prayer. "He said"
Balogun urged residents of the State especially the privileged to empathize with the poor and remember them during this period.
