A royal father in Kwara State, Oba Joshua Oluwatoba Adeyemi Adimula, has called on Muslims to imbibe the spirit and lessons of the Eid fitri celebration in their daily activities.
Oba Adeyemi Adimula in an interview with newsmen in Odo-Owa, challenged Nigerians to be tolerant and embrace peace to ensure the development of the Nation.
The royal father, who is the Oloota of Odo-Owa in Oke-Ero Local Government Area, urged the people of the State to support the government of Governor Abdulfatah Ahmed in its resolve to spread the dividends of democracy to all parts of the State.
He commended the Emir of Ilorin, Alhaji Ibrahim Sulu-Gambari, for his fatherly role and the successful completion of the Ramadan fast.
Speaking on the appeal by the Federal Government on the victory of the Senate President, Dr. Abubakar Bukola Saraki, at the Code of Conduct Tribunal, Oba Adimula urged him not to be bothered, adding that he would be victorious at the end.
The royal father described Saraki as a true democrat who believes in the rule of law, urging Nigerians to support the National Assembly in its effort at strengthening and improving democracy.
Oba Adimula thanked the people of the State for standing by Saraki during the trial, advising them to remain steadfast in their prayer for the Senate President.
He however invited members of the public to join his people in the celebration of this year’s annual yam festival commencing on Tuesday with the Aye festival at Arinrin Square.
