Abdulrahman Abdultazaq, Kwara State governor and NGF chairman on Friday wished the people of the state, especially the Moslem community, a blessed Eid-el-fitri, which marks the end of Ramadan fast.

Similarly, Emir of Ilorin, Ibrahim Sulu-Gambari congratulates Moslems on successful completion of Ramadan and Eid-el-Fitr sallah celebrations.
The Emir, who is also the chairman Kwara State Traditional Rulers Council, expressed his heartfelt congratulations to the entire Moslem Ummah in Ilorin Emirate, Kwara State, and Nigeria as a whole.
He further noted that, “Ramadan is not only a time of abstinence but also a period of deep reflection, compassion, discipline, and renewed devotion to Allah (SWT) stressing that, “As we celebrate Eid-el-Fitr, I urge all Muslims to sustain the virtues learned during Ramadan such as piety, humility, generosity, tolerance, and love for one another.
“This joyous festival should also serve as a moment to promote peace, unity, and religious harmony in our communities and across the nation. Nigeria’s strength lies in its diversity, and we must continue to live together in mutual respect and understanding, irrespective of faith or ethnic background.
