As Muslims across the world commence the sacred month of Ramadan, Chairman of the House Committee on the Federal Roads Maintenance Agency (FERMA) and lawmaker representing Ibarapa East/Ido Federal Constituency of Oyo State, Engr. Aderemi Oseni has urged Nigerians to embrace the values of unity, compassion, and self-discipline that define the holy period.
In a goodwill message to Muslim faithful, issued by his media aide, Idowu Ayodele, and made available to journalists in Ibadan, Oseni emphasised the importance of using the fasting period for deep reflection, devotion to Allah, and acts of kindness towards the less privileged.
He noted that Nigeria, at this critical time, requires prayers and collective efforts to overcome its economic and security challenges.
“Ramadan is a time of sacrifice, prayer, and charity. It is also an opportunity for us to renew our faith in God and strengthen the bonds of brotherhood across ethnic and religious divides. As we fast and seek divine blessings, let us also remember to support those in need and contribute to the peace and progress of our dear nation,” he said.
The lawmaker commended the resilience of Nigerians in the face of economic hardships and assured his constituents of his continued commitment to policies that will enhance their welfare.
He further expressed confidence in the policies of President Bola Tinubu’s administration, affirming that they are designed to reduce the cost of living, enhance security, and drive national development.
“As leaders, we must remain sensitive to the plight of the people. I am convinced that the Tinubu-led government is restoring Nigeria’s lost hope through various policies. Ramadan teaches us the essence of selflessness, and I call on my colleagues in government to support policies that will ease the burdens on Nigerians. We must ensure that governance translates into real benefits for the citizens,” he added.
Oseni also urged Muslim faithful to conduct themselves peacefully and use the Ramadan period to pray for the nation’s leadership, security agencies, and economic stability.
He wished all Muslims a spiritually fulfilling Ramadan, calling for continued unity among all Nigerians, regardless of religious background, to build a stronger and more prosperous country.
