As the holy month of Ramadan begins today, a member of the 9th National Assembly and a chieftain of the APC in Osun , Hon. Olubukola Oyewo(Bukoy)has urged Muslims to use the season for deep reflection and spiritual rejuvenation towards greater service to God and the nation.
In a message issued on Monday to the Muslim faithful in the country and around the world to herald the month-long spiritual activity, Hon. Oyewo noted that fasting is a profound religious experience that brings people closer to their Creator.
He thus enjoined adherents to use the season to re-evaluate their service to God and humanity.
He said: "Let us seize this period of Ramadan to rededicate ourselves to the service of God and country. Beyond abstaining from food and drink, we must resolve to make the greater sacrifice of eschewing vices that slow down the progress of our beloved country.
The former lawmaker for Osogbo Federal Constituency also asked Muslims to reflect on and strengthen their relationship with the Almighty Allah, and all men and women of goodwill the world over during the special season, adding:"The great Prophet of Islam, Muhammad (PBUH), described the Ramadan fast as a shield against vices.
On a general note, the political leader urged all Nigerians to pray for President Bola Tinubu’s administration and advance the frontiers of love.
