He added : “Ramadan is a season of self-denial, a season of self-discipline and prayer to Almighty God.

“It is also a season of religious tolerance for both Christians and Muslims.

“Without a doubt, the Almighty has answered and is still answering all our prayers.

“My message to our people is that the same way we denied ourselves in the past 30 days, the same way that we forgive those that offended us, the same way we choose to live a life of impact by giving freely to the less privileged, let us continue in the same fashion and be good to our neighbours.”

Abiodun congratulated the Muslims in the state for the successful completion of Ramadan, describing it as a spiritual exercise that is beneficial to both individuals and the nation.

In the same vein, the state Deputy Governor, Engr (Mrs.) Noimot Salako-Oyedele also urged Nigerians to continue to pray for the success of the policies and programmes of the President Tinubu-led administration towards repositioning the country.

Speaking at the Ota Central Eid ground, Salako-Oyedele called on the citizens to be optimistic about the emergence of a new Nigeria soon.

She expressed delight that the new policies of the government at the centre are already yielding the desired results on the economy.

While renewing the commitment of Governor Abiodun at ensuring the even distribution of the dividends of democracy across the state, the deputy governor urged Muslim faithful to continue to pray for the government so they will be able to do more for the people.

She also advised Muslims to adhere to the tenets of Islam as well as live by the various teachings imbibed during Ramadan.

Meanwhile, distribution of palliatives continued on Wednesday in various Eid praying grounds across the state.

At the Eid praying ground, Sagamu, the Chief Imam of Remo kingdom, Alhaji Abdul-Quadri Jinadu, expressed gratitude to Governor Dapo Abiodun for continuing to put smiles on the faces of residents of the state.

Alhaji Jinadu noted that the palliative would alleviate the current economic hardship and bring succour to the people.

“The various ongoing interventions by the state government are ways to ameliorate the economic situation.

” It is a sign that Nigerians will soon come out of the current economic hardship,” he said.

In his remarks, the Asiwaju Adinni of Ogun State and Baba Adinni of Remoland, Alhaji Samsideen Apelogun, appreciated the government for the palliative distribution

He noted that this would go a long way in ameliorating the economic situation and put food on the table for the vulnerable.

Speaking with newsmen during the distribution of the palliative, the Chairman of Yewa South Local Government, Hon. Lateef Salami appreciated Governor Abiodun for the gesture, adding that this year, Eid-el-Fitr would remain a memorable one as it served as a relief to the needy.

Speaking earlier, the Chief Imam of Ilaro Central Mosque, Imam Tajudeen Adewunmi, who thanked the governor for the gesture, pointed out that it would go a long way to ameliorate the suffering occasioned partly by the fuel subsidy removal.
