“The entire members of FOMWAN, Oyo State Chapter is using this medium to felicitate with our Muslim brothers and sisters on the just concluded Ramadan. Alhamdulillah for another 30days of spiritual cleansing and rejuvenation.
“Since Allah has commanded that we call upon Him all the time and with the special blessings and mercies of Ramadan, we are convinced that our supplications for ourselves, families, friends, Oyo State and Nigeria at large have been accepted and answered. I want to urge us to rejoice, have fun and bask in the euphoria of the rare privilege of a successful participation in another 30days fast,” Alhaja Oloso said
She called on Nigerians to inculcate the lessons and teachings of Ramadan in their daily life adding that this will help rid the country of the various social vices which have pervaded every nook and cranny of the nation.
“The onus lies on everyone to imbibe the teachings of the glorious month of Ramadan. We attended and organized various religious gatherings, participated in several acts of worship and righteousness in our homes and our mosques, we shared our foods with our neighbors and the needy and there was solemnity everywhere. We should let the spirit continue. At this stage in our country, we all must rise up to say no to all forms of social maladies and maladministration. May Allah heal our lands,” Oyo Amirah FOMWAN prayed.
