Ekiti Obas Greet Muslims, Seek Prayers for a Stronger and Prosperous Nigeria.

The Ekiti State Council of Traditional Rulers has felicitated Muslims on the Eid-el-Kabir celebration, urging them to direct their prayers and sacrifices towards a stronger and prosperous Nigeria. 

This message was contained in a statement congratulating Muslims Ummah and signed by the Chairman of the Council, Oba Gabriel Ayodele Adejuwon, CFR and made available to journalists, in Ado Ekiti, on Tuesday.

Oba Adejuwon Ayodele CFR who doubles as the Onisan of the Isan kingdom, showered encomiums on Muslims for playing stabilizing roles in the country through their prayers and philanthropic gestures.

The monarch urged them to celebrate Sallah with a specific focus and mindset that Nigeria needs prayers to surmount the current excruciating economic spates pummeling the country and creating an atmosphere of despondency among the citizens.

Oba Adejuwon urged Muslim Ummah to continually demonstrate the ethos of loyalty, sacrifice, love, togetherness, and holiness, as reflected in the life of Prophet Ibraheem, who was considered the symbol of Eid-el-Kabir celebration. 

"On behalf of the Council, I congratulate the Muslims in Ekiti and Nigeria for this year's Sallah. I charge them to celebrate with decency, moderation, and as well live for others, as exhibited by Prophet Ibraheem.

"It is clear to everyone that our country is currently challenged economically. This spiritual time offered veritable opportunities for Nigerians, especially  Muslim adherents to pray for the land for spiritual intervention and economic prosperity." 

"Sallah is not celebrated for nothing, it represents a very pivotal space in the life of any Muslim. The teachings and lessons of holiness, contentment, loyalty, piety, and mutual respect, and trust must be allowed to take root in Nigeria.

"We believe that there is no problem that cannot be solved through a collective will. Nigerians must learn how to coalesce their prayers to bring Nigeria out of her current economic challenges, and all of us have critical roles to play in actualizing this onerous task".

Ekiti: Not yet time for politics, Gov Oyebanji is doing well, he deserves support from all of us~ Lere Olayinka.

Ekiti: Not yet time for politics, Gov Oyebanji is doing well, he deserves support from all of us~ Lere Olayinka.

A chieftain of the People's Democratic Party (PDP) in Ekiti State, Lere Olayinka, has said that the State Governor, Biodun Oyebanji, needs all the concentration he desired to remain on the path of good governance that he has started.

Olayinka, who was the PDP House of Representatives candidate for Ekiti Central Federal Constituency 2 in the last general elections, said gone were the days of politics of bitterness that held Ekiti State down for a long period, adding that "As for me, Governor Oyebanji is doing well and I won't be blinded by politics not to acknowledge that."

Speaking during a meeting with some PDP leaders in Ado Ekiti on Wednesday, he said those who abandoned the party during the last year governorship election and this year's general elections cannot be the ones to take the front stage and act as spokespersons of the party.

The former PDP Reps candidate said there was no pretending as to the fact that Governor Oyebanji has brought his personality trait of 'Omoluabi' to bear on governance in the State, adding that "Ekiti has gotten to such a level that after election, whoever is the governor must be supported by all in the interest of the State.

"If you pass through Ita Awure - Aramoko - Igede road, this time last year and now, you will see the clear difference and this can't be hidden even if you don't like the face of the governor. Personally, I remember how many times I had issues with my vehicle's tyres on that road.

"Also, I seen the governor even visiting those who contested the guber election with him, including those who even challenged his election up to the Supreme Court.

"He is running government across political party lines and for that, there is peace in the State. That's what Ekiti needs at this time."

Calling on genuine members of the PDP in the State to remain steadfast and hopeful of a better tomorrow, Olayinka said, "Some of us lost elections that we were poised to win. Some of as members of the party contributed to the loss. But I as a person have moved on and that's what I expect all of us to do, hoping that PDP will rise again."
