Ibadan – The Osi Basorun of Ibadanland and International cardiovascular Surgeon,
-Alhaji Azeez Popoola Adeduntan has felicitated Muslims faithful and other religions in Oyo State and Nigeria for being alive and well on this occasion.
In a statement issued on his behalf by his media office in Ibadan, Adeduntan urged Muslims in the state to extend their hands of fellowship and love to the underprivileged in society.
He called on them to imbibe the lessons of total submission and obedience to the will of Almighty Allah and promote the principle of being one another’s keeper.
According to him “Muslims should guard against hate speech, thuggery and violence but give unquantifiable support to the new administrations at both the federal and state levels
as Nigeria moves on notwithstanding and despite the predictions of doom, dis-integration and wars from far and near.
Adeduntan said Muslims could best express their gratitude to God by living in peace and by harnessing the country’s diversity in order to explore and exploit the numerous opportunities that God had endowed Nigeria with.
“And as our country grapples with various challenges of development, especially with the new government in power, it is also an apt period for all of us to pray earnestly to God to continue to bless Nigeria and Oyo State as well as guide and guard it.”
