Adeleke, Osun APC Send Eid al‑Kabir Greetings to Muslims

Osun State Governor Ademola Adeleke and the state chapter of the All Progressives Congress (APC) extended greetings to Muslims on the occasion of Eid‑el‑Kabir, encouraging residents to observe sacrifice, moderation, unity and peaceful coexistence during the celebrations.

In a statement released by his spokesperson Olawale Rasheed, Governor Adeleke described Eid‑el‑Kabir as a time for reflecting on obedience, compassion and complete submission to Allah’s will.

The governor said the values highlighted by the festival align with his administration’s vision, which he said focuses on service, fairness and the welfare of all residents in the state.

He urged citizens to evaluate the impact of his government in areas such as infrastructure, health, education, workers’ welfare and social development.

“As you drive through our towns and villages, check through our deliveries and services to our people. We are committed to serving you now and all the time,” Adeleke was quoted as saying.

The governor also reaffirmed his administration’s commitment to religious harmony, inclusiveness and equal opportunities for all residents, regardless of political or religious affiliation, while urging Muslims to continue praying for peace, unity and progress in the state and the country.

Meanwhile, the Osun chapter of the APC also congratulated Muslims across the state on Eid‑el‑Kabir and urged them to remember the less privileged during the festivities.

In a statement signed by the state chairman of the party, Tajudeen Lawal, the opposition party called on wealthy individuals to extend support to those who lack the means to celebrate the festival comfortably.

The party also encouraged Muslims to pray for sick persons in hospitals and homes, while urging celebrants to observe the festival with moderation.

“We also want to remind our Muslim brothers and sisters of the need to celebrate the Eid‑el‑Kabir with moderation in order to live to celebrate many more of it in the land of the living,” the statement read.

The APC urged Muslims to pray for Osun State and Nigeria, especially as political activities ahead of the governorship election gain momentum.

The party also called on residents to support its governorship candidate, Asiwaju Munirudeen Bola Oyebamiji, describing him as a capable leader who could restore what it termed the lost glory of the state, while commending party members and supporters for maintaining peaceful conduct in their political activities.
