1. As we celebrate this year’s Eid-el-Fitr, I extend my heartfelt congratulations to all Muslim faithful in Kogi State and across Nigeria. This sacred occasion, marking the successful completion of Ramadan, is a moment of deep gratitude, reflection, and renewed commitment to the path of righteousness as guided by Almighty Allah.
2. The holy month of Ramadan has reinforced in us the virtues of patience, sacrifice, and self-discipline. It has reminded us of the power of faith, the beauty of compassion, and the importance of selfless service to humanity. As we rejoice, let us uphold these values, ensuring that love, kindness, and generosity become our guiding principles beyond this season.
3. At this crucial time in our nation’s journey, I urge us all to deepen the bonds of unity and tolerance. Kogi State’s strength lies in its rich diversity, and through mutual respect and understanding, we can build a more peaceful and prosperous future. Let us always remember that what unites us is far greater than what divides us.
4. As we celebrate, I also call on all Kogites to remain steadfast in prayers for our state and nation. Let us seek divine guidance for enduring peace, security, and sustainable progress in Kogi State and Nigeria. With unwavering commitment and faith in Almighty Allah, we shall overcome our challenges and continue on the path of greatness.
5. I wish you all a joyous, peaceful, and blessed Eid-el-Fitr. May Allah accept our sacrifices, bless our homes, and grant us the wisdom and strength to foster love, harmony, and development in our beloved state.
