30 days of Ramadan hunger showed that we can endure anything - Gov Aregbesola

Rauf Aregbesola, governor of Osun state, on Wednesday said the just-concluded Ramadan fast had shown that people can survive under any circumstance.


Speaking in Osogbo after the Eid-el-Fitr prayers, Aregbesola called for tolerance and understanding of Nigerians to move the country forward.

He asked the people to apply the Ramadan experience to different areas of their lives.

“We thank Almighty Allah for permitting us to survive the fasting,” he said.

“We want to tell our people that if we can endure the 30 days Ramadan hunger, we can endure anything.

“Let us use the experience of the Ramadan to re-fashion our lives, be tolerant, persevering and live a life that will add value to our community, state and nation.

“Nigeria needs peace for development and Nigerians must strive for peace as we learn to tolerate and understand one another for harmonious relationships.

“If we live harmoniously, we will have a better society and development will be assured.”

Sherifat, wife of the governor, equally admonished Muslims to sustain abstinence from sins, just as they did during Ramadan.

Urged them to sustain the tempo, she said abstaining from sin should not be limited to the Ramadan period alone .

Musa Animashaun, chief imam of Osogbo, who led the prayers, urged Muslims to shun all forms of vices.

He reminded them that all human beings would eventually leave “this sinful world”, adding that living a life of holiness is the only way to get to heaven.

He prayed for the success of President Muhammadu Buhari’s administration and the peace of the state and the country.

  1. Mumu.That is why you do notnpay your workers. Now I know why APC led gov t have brought so much hunger pain and hopelessness while they keep staching away billions of money for their unborn generation and at the same time fighting corruption on pages of newspapers and on only opposition. If not this idiotic fool cannot be talking rubbish. Ok they prefer to be throwing sugar and rice into the air for hungery and starving masses during Sallah so that the masses some of who die in the stampede will see them as God.Look at his face self like sallah ram.Nonsense! Does you family sacrifice. All those phoney contracts with time everything will come to light including the kick backs. Olori Buruku!we re!

Don't bring example of fasting n join with normal life issues. Ok those people stealing our money should also stop and use the fasting experience and say no to stealing. But about food schl fees shelter I beg no due give that kind example. Stomach no de hear wetin u de talk.
