The governor also urged Muslims in Osun and indeed all people of the State to take advantage of this important celebration to offer prayers for the peace, stability, progress and development of the State, especially as it prepares for the forthcoming elections.
“As your governor, I remain committed to working for a better Osun and creating prosperity for all of us. With your support, we will continue to work hard to execute projects and programmes that will develop our State and enhance the lives of our people,” he added.
Governor Ortom, in a goodwill message, posited that all religions preach peace, love, good neighbourliness and called for religious tolerance between and among different religious adherents.
