As the sun sets on the holy month of Ramadan and the crescent moon heralds the arrival of Eid al-Fitr, I extend my heartfelt greetings and best wishes to the Muslim community of Edo State. Eid Mubarak!
This sacred occasion is a time of joy, gratitude, and reflection for Muslims around the world. It marks the end of a month-long journey of fasting, prayer, and spiritual growth and serves as a reminder of the values of compassion, generosity, and unity that lie at the heart of Islam.
As we come together to celebrate Eid al-Fitr, let us take a moment to reflect on the lessons learned during Ramadan – the importance of self-discipline, empathy, and humility. Let us carry forward the spirit of Ramadan into our daily lives, striving to be better individuals and contributing positively to our communities.
In a diverse and multicultural state like Edo, it is essential that we embrace our differences and celebrate our shared humanity. Now, more than ever, we must come together as one family, united in our pursuit of peace, justice, and prosperity for all.
As the gubernatorial candidate of Edo State under the National Rescue Movement (NRM) platform, I am deeply committed to fostering inclusivity, diversity, and harmony in our state. I believe that by embracing love, peace, and oneness, we can overcome any challenge and build a brighter future for generations to come.
On this auspicious occasion of Eid al-Fitr, let us renew our commitment to building bridges of understanding and cooperation across religious, cultural, and ethnic lines. Let us reject divisiveness and hatred and instead embrace the values of tolerance, compassion, and respect for all.
To my Muslim brothers and sisters, I urge you to continue to be beacons of light and hope in our communities. Let your actions be guided by love, kindness, and generosity, and let us work together hand in hand to create a more just, equitable, and inclusive society for all.
Once again, Eid Mubarak to you and your families. May this joyous occasion bring you peace, happiness, and blessings in abundance.
Warm regards,
Dr. Dennis Osahon Aikoriogie
Gubernatorial Candidate, Edo State
