The All Progressives Congress in Ekiti State has felicitated with Muslims in the state on the celebration of Ramadan.
Chairman of the party, Mr. Paul Omotosho, said in a statement in Ado Ekiti on Sunday that it was a thing of joy that Muslims still observed the holy month of fasting and total abstinence, despite the Corona virus pandemic ravaging the whole world.
The statement signed by the party’s Director of Media and Publicity, Elder Sam Oluwalana, praised Muslim faithful for their endurance and steadfastness during the holy month.
According to him, it is on record that the period of Ramadan had ushered in prayers for the country and supplications to end the COVID- 19 pandemic.
The chairman urged them not to forget to adhere to measures put in place by the state government to end the spread of the deadly disease during the celebrations.
According to the statement, “These measures include social distancing, washing of hands with water and soap as well as keeping away from any congregation that is more than 20 persons.
“I will love like to implore you all to continue to pray for this country, even after the holy month for quick return to normalcy in the land and to also join hands with the state government to ensure peace and stability in the state.
