In a message brimming with warmth and inclusivity, the Deputy Governor of Kogi State, Comrade Joel Salifu, has extended his heartfelt greetings to the Muslim community on the occasion of Eid Al-Fitr 2025. The Deputy Governor also expressed his gratitude to his Principal, His Excellency Alhaji Ahmed Usman Ododo, and the Advance New Direction Government for their unwavering leadership.

Reflecting on the significance of Eid Al-Fitr, Salifu remarked, “During this joyous moment, I firmly believe that all Muslims have been revitalized by the profound meaning and essence of life.

He emphasized the importance of unity, stating, “Let us cultivate a spirit of respect and inclusivity towards one another, regardless of our religious beliefs, ethnic backgrounds, tribal differences, or political allegiances, as we strive to leverage our strengths and opportunities to put our beloved State on the global map.”

Concluding his message, Salifu expressed his hope that the blessings of Ramadan would bring positive transformation to the lives of all. “It is my sincere wish that the concluded Ramadan Fast will not be our final experience of this sacred practice, and may the blessings of our supplications rain down upon us, bringing positive transformation to our lives, Amen.”
