A passionate and strong contender for Oyo state governor under the platform of New Nigeria People’s Party (NNPP), Engr. Popoola Olukayode Joshua popularly known as POJ, has urged Moslem Ummah to carry on with the principles and teachings of the holy month of Ramadan which are perseverance, sacrifice, love, peace, kindness, compassion and peaceful co-existence.
The NNPP gubernatorial hopeful advises Musilim faithfuls to use the period to pray for the peace and well being of the nation, especially Oyo state.
These were contained in a Sallah message personally signed by the gubernatorial aspirant and made available to journalists on Monday.
“It is only when the principles of the season are sustained beyond Ramadan that the fasting period can be given its true meaning.
“During Ramadan, which is one of the important pillars of Islam, we were obliged to fast, shun evil actions, speak right and show love to one another.
“Above all, we should not draw back in our devotion to Allah, which is the ultimate of our faith”, he added
He further charged Muslims in the state to keep faith alive and be ready to experience progress in the years ahead, adding that the current challenges facing Oyo will soon be a thing of the past.
POJ ceased the opportunity to urge them to demonstrate strong patriotic spirit as they register and collect their PVC as well as vote a candidate that will ensure they continue to have a sense of belonging and better welfare in the state, charging them to join hands with him to rebuild Oyo State.
