Governor Ademola Adeleke has felicitated with Muslim ummah at home and in the diaspora on the advent of the holy month of Ramadan as he called for prayers for sustenance of peace and upholding of godliness in national politics.

In a statement to mark the beginning of the holy month, the Governor highlighted the importance of godliness in national politics and state governance as he urged Muslim faithful to intercede on behalf of leaders for adherence to the will of God whether in or out of power.

The Governor who described the Ramadan period as a month of spiritual rebirth, called for closer relationship with the creator of heaven and earth through fasting and prayers to achieve ultimate submission to the will of Allah.

While urging support and assistance for the needy now and after the fasting period, the State Governor described the holy month as an era of intensive communing with Almighty Allah through humanitarian activities and penitence, calling on all Muslim faithful to seek the face of God for forgiveness and realisation of their desires.

“This year’s Ramadan coincides with current misunderstanding among the political elites in our dear state. It is therefore a time for sober reflection, reassessment of viewpoints and an attention to the place of Allah in securing and exiting from power.

“As we fast, we must accept the divine prescription that Almighty Allah gives power to whom he wills. He elevates and downgrades. No mortal can upturn the will of Allah.

“Believers in God should also remember that Allah is the best schemer and planner. They plan and Allah plans. Allah is supreme and any plan against Allah’s agenda can never materialise. We must return to God in our politicking and struggle for power”, Governor Adeleke posited.

He thanked clerics at home and in the diaspora for their prayers and support for the peace and development of Osun state, adding “we need continuous divine grace and blessings as we enter the holy month for the collective good and prosperity of our society”
