As the 2025 holy month of Ramadan comes to an end, Prince Dahood Oladimeji of the Agunloye Royal Family has expressed warm felicitations to the Alaafin of Oyo, His Imperial Majesty, Iku Baba Yeye Oba Abimbola Owoade I, and the entire Muslim community in Oyo on the occasion of Eid-el Fitr.
In his goodwill message released on Sunday, Prince Dahood emphasized the significance of Eid-el Fitr as a period of gratitude, unity, and renewed commitment to faith.
He lauded the dedication and devotion displayed by Muslims in Oyo throughout the fasting period and encouraged them to carry the lessons of Ramadan forward beyond the holy into their daily lives.
“Warmest greetings to all Muslims on the joyous occasion of Eid-el Fitr! May this blessed day bring peace, happiness, and prosperity to you and your loved ones.
“As you celebrate the end of Ramadan, may the spiritual growth, self-reflection, and acts of kindness you’ve practiced during the holy month continue to guide you throughout the year. May Allah’s blessings and mercy be upon you, and may your Eid-el Fitr be filled with love, laughter, and joy.
“Eid-el Fitr is a time to celebrate the completion of a sacred obligation and to embrace the values of love, peace, and compassion.
“With utmost gratitude to God, I extend my heartfelt congratulations to our highly exalted father and king, His Imperial Majesty, Iku Baba Yeye, the Alaafin of Oyo, Oba Abimbola Owoade I.
I also felicitate with the entire Muslim faithful in Oyo and beyond. May this season bring abundant blessings and foster greater harmony in our communities,” Prince Dahood stated.
The prince also urged Muslims to continue embodying the virtues of patience, kindness, and charity, which are core teachings of Islam, especially as exemplified during the period of Ramadan fasting.
He reiterated the importance of using this festive period to strengthen bonds of brotherhood and offer support to the less privileged.
“Let us remember those in need and extend our hands in charity, just as we did during Ramadan. This is a time to spread joy and ensure that the spirit of giving remains alive,” he added.
Prince Dahood Oladimeji, however, prayed for continued peace, prosperity, and divine favor for the state and entire nation. He also expressed hope that the unity and faith displayed during Ramadan would persist beyond the festivities.
