“I rejoice with fellow Muslims across Osun State on the occasion of this year’s Eid-el-Fitr celebration. While we throng the Eid ground for prayers and mark the end of the month of Ramadan you should not forget the lessons the month teaches us.
“The act of love, sacrifice, sharing with our brothers and sisters must not end with the month. You should extend those virtues beyond the holy month.
