The Vice Chairman of Ikorodu Local Government and the National Deputy Chairman (Association of Local Government Vice Chairmen in Nigeria), Hon.Princess Folashade Olabanji-Oba, has felicitated with Muslim faithfuls around the world as they celebrate the annual Eid-el-fitri today.
The well known philanthropist stated that despite the fact that Covid-19 has wrecked havoc across the world and has prevented the Muslim faithfuls from celebrating like they would love to, it should not stop them from remembering the world in their prayers.
In a statement released by her office, she urged Muslims to ensure that they stay safe and adhere strictly to the rules that have been set by the Government, health care workers and Agencies in charge of combating Covid-19.
She stressed on the need to maintain social distancing and total withdrawal from any form of social gathering for celebrations at this time.
‘’I celebrate with Muslim faithfuls across the World today as they celebrate Eid-El-Fitri after faithfully fasting for 30 days. It’s not an easy journey and I must commend our Muslim brothers and sisters out there.”
“I would love to commend our President, Muhammadu Buhari for leading by example by saying he won’t be entertaining visitors in order to prevent the spread of Covid-19; it’s a laudable move by him.”
“Our Governor, Mr. Babajide Sanwo-Olu, has demonstrated great ability, dynamism and proactive leadership skills in the way he is leading all of us in combating Covid-19. Lagos leads and other states follow!”
“It’s a season to show love. The holy month connotes that, hence, I urge everyone who has abundance to share with those who have little or nothing in their homes” Hon. Princess Folashade concluded.
