KOGI DEPUTY GOVERNOR’S EID AL-FITR 2025 MESSAGE TO MUSLIM FAITHFUL
I extend my warm greetings to my Principal, His Excellency Alhaji Ahmed Usman Ododo, the Advance New Direction Government, and all residents of Kogi State, particularly the Muslim community, on the occasion of this year’s Eid Al-Fitr, which signifies the conclusion of the Ramadan fast.
I commend the Muslims in Kogi State and across Nigeria for successfully completing this month-long spiritual journey of fasting, prayer, and charitable acts in obedience to the Divine Will.
I earnestly pray that the Almighty Allah will shower blessings upon your sacrifices, leading to a more prosperous and beautiful future.
During this joyous moment, I firmly believe that all Muslims have been revitalized by the profound meaning and essence of life. By following the teachings of Prophet Muhammad (SAW), you have embraced the values of righteousness, generosity, affection, self-discipline, and good behavior in your daily endeavors.
As we commemorate another Eid Al-Fitr, I urge all residents of Kogi State to uphold these teachings and acknowledge the many material and human gifts given to us by the Almighty Allah.
Let us cultivate a spirit of respect, and inclusivity towards one another, regardless of our religious beliefs, ethnic backgrounds, tribal differences, or political allegiances, as we strive to leverage our strengths and opportunities to put our beloved State on the global map.
It is my sincere wish that the concluded Ramadan Fast will not be our final experience of this sacred practice, and may the blessings of our supplications rain down upon us, bringing positive transformation to our lives, Amen.
Congratulations.
Signed
Comrade Joel Salifu
Deputy Governor, Kogi State
