“At a time when our nation yearns for unity and healing, this sacred celebration offers us an opportunity to reflect, reconnect with one another, and renew our collective hope,” the Speaker said.
He also extended his wishes to members and staff of the Oyo State House of Assembly, and prayed that the occasion would usher in a season of peace, prosperity, and collective growth.
According to the lawmaker’s message to the people of Oyo State, Ogundoyin wished them a joyful and peaceful Eid-el-Kabir celebration and prayed for sustained development and harmony in the state.
“As we celebrate, let us remember the essence of this season, sacrifice, piety, and compassion.
May Almighty Allah accept our prayers and sacrifices and grant us lasting peace and blessings,” he added.
