Kayode Fayemi, former governor of Ekiti state, has felicitated with Muslims in the country on the Eid-el-Fitr celebrations.

In an Eid-el-Fitr message issued by Ahmad Sajoh, the head of his media office, on Tuesday, Fayemi said Nigerians should “remember the less fortunate and extend a hand of generosity and kindness to them”.

The former minister said the “Eid-el-Fitr does not only signify the end of the month-long Ramadan fasting but embodies the spirit of unity, compassion and generosity”.

“During Ramadan, Muslims around the world demonstrated discipline, devotion, and resilience in observing their religious obligations,” he said.

“This commitment to faith is a source of inspiration and evidence of the strength of the human spirit.

“The Eid-el-Fitr celebration is a time to rejoice in the blessings of God and to reflect on the lessons of Ramadan and an opportunity to strengthen the bonds of unity, love, and brotherhood among all Nigerians, regardless of religious or ethnic differences.

“As we celebrate this occasion, let us remember those less fortunate and extend a hand of generosity and kindness to them. Let us also rededicate ourselves to the values of peace, tolerance, and understanding.”
