Ado-Ekiti—Ekiti State Governor, Engr. Segun Oni, has urged Muslims in the country to continue to uphold the lessons learnt during the 30 days Ramadan fasting period, saying, “it is only when all Muslims and lovers of the Holy Prophet Mohammed (SAW) continue to tailor their lives in line with the lessons of the Ramadan that the 30 days fasting that just ended will be worthwhile.”

According to his goodwill message in Ado Ekiti, yesterday by the Chief Press Secretary to the Governor to commemorate the end of the Ramadan fast, the governor said lessons of the 30 days of self denial must not be lost on the Muslim faithful.

He said: “The Ramadan period was that of sacrifice, self denial and total submission to the Almighty Allah (SWT). It was a period when our brothers in Islam were steadfast in their service to Allah and humanity.

“For us not to been seen as being hypocritical in our service to Allah (SWT) and humanity during the 30 days fasting period, we must continue to show love, serve Allah (SWT) in truth, humility and sincerity, and shun all the vices that we abstain from during the fasting period.

“Most especially, as we move towards 2011.”
