I extend my warmest wishes to all our Muslim brothers and sisters on the joyous occasion of Eid-el-Fitr. As we mark the completion of Ramadan, a sacred period of fasting, prayer, and reflection, may the blessings of this season bring peace, prosperity, and renewed faith to our homes and communities. May The Almighty God accept our prayers and sacrifices.

I also take this opportunity to express profound gratitude to the Almighty God for the successful hosting of the Second Edition of the Aare Afolabi Ogunlayi Ramadan Lecture, held on Saturday, March 29, 2025, in Ayede-Ekiti. The event was a remarkable gathering of faith, wisdom, and community spirit, bringing together the Muslim Ummah, traditional rulers, scholars, youth, and leaders from across the constituency and beyond.

We extend our sincere appreciation to our Chief Host, His Royal Majesty, Oba Abdul-Mumini Adebayo Orisagbemi, the Attah of Ayede-Ekiti, for his invaluable support and leadership. Special thanks also to H.E. Governor Biodun Oyebanji and Former Governor Dr. Kayode Fayemi for their unwavering support for this initiative, which continues to strengthen community bonds and promote moral and intellectual development.

The keynote address by Dr. Taofeeq Miqdad, Chief Imam, Defence Headquarters Mosque, on the theme “Build the Family to Build the Nation”, was deeply enlightening, reinforcing the fundamental role of strong family values in shaping a progressive society.

We are also grateful to all the distinguished leaders who graced the occasion with their presence, and to the Patron of the Lecture Series, Aare Afolabi Ogunlayi, whose vision and dedication remain the driving force behind this impactful gathering.

In addition to covering the cost of event logistics, the AkinOmOAkin Constituency Office donated the cumulative sum of ₦5 million to representatives of the Muslim community across the constituency who attended the event.

As we celebrate Eid-el-Fitr, let us continue to uphold the virtues of compassion, unity, and service to humanity. May The Almighty God bless us all abundantly.

Eid Mubarak!
