According to him, there is need for Muslim Ummah in Oyo State, Nigeria and all over the world to continue praying for the country and leaders, especially the recently elected leaders in Nigeria.
“I want to use this opportunity to congratulate all Muslim Ummah in Oyo State, Nigeria and the whole world as we begin this year month of Ramadan. As Muslims, we must use this month to seek for forgiveness from God. We must also use the month to seek for return of peace to the country.
“As servant of Allah, we must not toy with the privilege of uncommon opportunity we derive from Allah in this holy month of Ramadan. I therefore urge all Muslims in Oyo state, Nigeria and the whole world to use the opportunity of this holy month to pray for elected leaders, especially in the just concluded elections in Nigeria.”
