He emphasized that the virtues of sacrifice, tolerance, and generosity inherent in Ramadan are essential for building a harmonious and progressive society.

“On the auspicious sighting of the Ramadan crescent, I rejoice with all Muslim faithful in Ona-Ara Local Government. May this holy month deepen our faith, purify our hearts, and usher abundant blessings and peace into our land,” he stated.
