By Noah Ocheni, Lokoja

The Kogi State Governor Ahmed Usman Ododo in Lokoja charged Muslim faithfuls to utilize the lesson of Ramadan fasting  to foster unity and peace among the diverse ethnic groups in the state.

Governor Ododo  gave the charge  on Sunday  at Muhammadu  Buhari square in Lokoja shortly after his prayer with his people to mark the end of Ramadan fast.

He charged Muslims  to continue to reflect on the lesson of compassion, peace and  progress learnt during the period of Ramadan fast  in the interest of development of the state.

“I am deeply grateful to God for the gift of life and the rear privilege given to me and my teams to serve the people of the state. I  thank every body in the state for their support and cooperation given to me that has been assisting us in ensuring that we deliver our campaign promises.”

“My  message to the people as they cerebrate eid-el-fitir,  is for them to continue to reflect on the lesson of compassion , lesson of peace and  lesson of progress” Governor Ododo said.

The Governor  called on the sons and  daughters of Kogi State to join hands with his administration to enable him   build  a state that every indigene would be proud of.

Imam Dhahir Hussaini in his Eid-El-Fitr sermon urged Muslims to always fear God Almighty in whatever they do on daily basis, reminding them that they should bear in mind that there is a day when every human would be called upon to give account of his or her activities on this earth.

He pointed out that God does not accept deeds except from the pious one, noting that whoever breaks God covenant from the straight path and return to deficiency and sin , such person would be denied God’s favour during the day of resurrection.

He further stated that God has commanded human beings to be steadfast in obedience, stressing that it is an obligation upon every Muslims to remain steadfast in whatever they say or do at all times.
