In a goodwill message, Adeniran described Eid-el-Fitr as a moment of deep reflection, gratitude, and renewed commitment to the values of discipline, compassion, sacrifice, and unity demonstrated throughout the holy month of Ramadan.
He commended the Muslim community for their steadfastness and devotion during the fast, noting that their spiritual exercise has contributed to the moral strengthening of society.
Adeniran urged all Muslims to continue embodying the virtues learnt during Ramadan and channel them towards building a more peaceful, tolerant, and progressive Oyo State.
