Governor Sanwo-Olu made this appeal during the First Family of Lagos State and the Ministry of Home Affairs Eid-el-Fitr celebration held at Lagos House, Marina. The event, themed “My Lord Indeed I Am for Whatever Good You Would Send Me”, marked the conclusion of the Ramadan fast and encouraged reflection.
Speaking at the event, Sanwo-Olu said, “By May, those traveling to Mecca will begin their journey. Please ensure you are in good health. If you are ill, refrain from traveling for the 2025 Hajj; stay back and pray here in Nigeria.”
He congratulated the Muslim community on successfully completing the Ramadan fast and prayed for ongoing peace and unity within the state and the nation. “I pray that God will continue to keep us in peace and unity. We will continue to witness Eid-el-Fitr celebrations. I thank all our religious leaders for teaching us more about the holy book. I wish us more celebrations in good health,” Sanwo-Olu remarked.
Deputy Governor Dr. Obafemi Hamzat also addressed the gathering, encouraging residents to display kindness and empathy toward one another. “Show empathy, show compassion, be good to your neighbours, and continue to have faith in the Almighty’s goodness,” he advised.
Adding to the message of compassion, Dr. Ibijoke Sanwo-Olu, the Governor’s wife, called on residents to extend help to the less privileged. “True worship goes beyond ritual; it reflects how we treat one another and how we contribute to the betterment of our state and our nation. I encourage us to renew our faith in Nigeria and remain steadfast in our prayers,” she stated.
The event also featured a lecture by Dr. Munirudeen Ar-Riyardy from Lagos State University of Education, who urged Nigerians to remain steadfast in their faith despite life’s challenges and to avoid cursing leaders or committing sins.
Present at the gathering were prominent figures, including Mrs. Oluremi Hamzat, wife of the Deputy Governor, Alhaji Abdullah Jebe, Special Adviser to the Governor on Religion, and Shaykh Suliamon Abu-Nolla, the Grand Imam of Lagos State.
