Kayode Fayemi, former governor of Ekiti, has urged Nigerians to promote compassion and generosity amongst one another.
In his Eid-al-Fitri message, Fayemi encouraged citizens to continue nurturing peace and harmony in their various communities across the country.
“I extend my warm greetings to all Muslim faithful as they mark the completion of the holy month of Ramadan and celebrate the Eid-el-Fitr festival,” the statement reads.
“As we mark the end of the 30-day fast, it is a time for us to reflect on the essence of Ramadan, which is to renew our commitment to our faith, promote compassion and generosity towards others, and deepen our spiritual connection with God.
