Kwara State Governor, Alhaji Abdulfatah Ahmed has urged Muslims faithful to use the Ramadan period to rekindle their hope in Allah and for spiritual rejuvenation.
Governor Ahmed, in a statement issued by his Chief Press Secretary, Abdulwahab Oba following the commencement of this year’s Ramadan emphasised the need for wealthy Muslims to assist the less privileged ones in order ameliorate their suffering and reduce poverty in the society.
“Let’s reconnect with God, shun hatred and purge ourselves from envy. This is another opportunity to remember that the day of reckoning and accounting is gradually approaching. We should fear Allah in words and deeds”, governor Ahmed preached.
According to the governor, “Ramadan fasts offer unique opportunity for Muslims to reassess their relationship with Almighty Allah and fellow human beings.
He urged Nigerians to use the period to supplicate for the restoration of peace, unity, understanding and tolerance across the country.

“May this Ramadan not be our last and may it take us to the Kwara of our dream and personal successes”, Ahmed prayed.
