Eid-el-Fitr: Ajadi Felicitates Muslims, Urges Unity, Compassion and Prayers for Nigeria

A leading governorship aspirant in Oyo State on the platform of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), Ambassador Olufemi Ajadi Oguntoyinbo, has congratulated Muslims in Oyo State and across Nigeria on the successful completion of the Ramadan fast and the celebration of Eid al‑Fitr.

In his Eid message made available to journalists, Ajadi described the holy month of Ramadan as a period of spiritual rebirth, sacrifice, discipline, and devotion, urging Muslims to sustain the virtues of patience, love, and generosity which the fasting period represents.
He said: “I heartily congratulate our Muslim brothers and sisters in Oyo State and throughout Nigeria on the grace to witness another Eid-el-Fitr. Ramadan has taught us the values of self-discipline, tolerance, and compassion for one another. As we celebrate, we must continue to uphold these virtues for the progress of our society.”

The PDP gubernatorial aspirant emphasised that the lessons of Ramadan go beyond abstaining from food and drink, noting that the season reminds leaders and citizens alike about the importance of accountability, sincerity of purpose, and service to humanity.

According to him: “Eid is not just a celebration; it is a reminder of our responsibilities to God and to humanity. We must continue to show love to the less privileged, promote peaceful coexistence, and work collectively for the development of our dear state and country.”

He also used the occasion to call for prayers for peace, economic stability, and good governance in Nigeria, stressing that national development can only thrive in an atmosphere of unity and mutual respect.

“At this critical time in our national life, I appeal to Nigerians to use this festive period to pray for our leaders and our country. With unity, faith, and collective responsibility, we can overcome our challenges and build a better future for the coming generations,” he added.

The gubernatorial hopeful further encouraged political leaders to embrace people-centred policies that will reduce hardship and improve the living conditions of ordinary citizens, noting that leadership must always be guided by fairness and social justice.

He reiterated by wishing Muslims a peaceful and joyful celebration.

“May this Eid bring joy to our homes, peace to our communities, and renewed hope to our nation. Barka da Sallah to all our Muslim faithful. May Allah accept our prayers and sacrifices,” Ajadi stated.

The message has since drawn commendations from political observers and community leaders who say such gestures reflect the importance of religious harmony and inclusive leadership in a diverse society.

FROM GLOBAL IMPACT TO NATIONAL SERVICE: DR. PRINCESS CHETACHI NWOGA-NWOGA-ECTON ACCEPTS CALL TO SERVE OWERRI ZONE

In a defining moment that has electrified the political landscape of Imo State, globally acclaimed philanthropist, Dr. Princess Chetachi Nwoga-Ecton, has officially accepted the clarion call of Owerri Zone youths to contest for the Senate seat in the forthcoming general elections.

Speaking from the United States, where she continues to advance her humanitarian engagements, Dr. Nwoga-Ecton made her position known in a heartfelt and resolute address that has since resonated across communities at home and in the diaspora.

A distinguished recipient of the prestigious Presidential Lifetime Achievement Award under the administration of Joe Biden, Dr. Nwoga-Ecton has built a legacy rooted in compassion, service, and global impact.

As the Founder of the When In Need Foundation, she has transformed countless lives through initiatives focused on empowerment, healthcare, education, and social welfare.

Beyond her widely recognized humanitarian strides, she is also a passionate and consistent advocate of agriculture. For many years, Dr. Nwoga-Ecton has championed farming as a tool for economic growth and food security, personally supporting farmers across several local governments in Imo State.

Through her initiatives, she has distributed seedlings to farmers, helping to boost local agricultural productivity and encourage sustainable livelihoods.

Her impact is equally profound among widows and women, whom she has continually supported through financial assistance and structured skills acquisition programs.

These empowerment efforts have enabled countless women to regain economic independence, rebuild their lives, and contribute meaningfully to their communities.

Responding to the persistent and passionate agitation by Owerri Zone youths, she declared:

“After deep reflection, consultations, and prayers, I have decided to humbly accept the call of our vibrant and courageous youths to serve.

This is not a personal ambition, but a collective mission — a responsibility to represent, to uplift, and to deliver purposeful leadership to our people.”

Her acceptance has been met with overwhelming jubilation, especially among young people who have long advocated for credible, people-oriented representation.

For many, her decision signals the dawn of a new era — one anchored on integrity, inclusiveness, and visionary leadership.

Dr. Nwoga-Ecton emphasized that her transition from global humanitarian service to active political participation is a natural extension of her lifelong commitment to humanity:

“Service knows no boundaries.

Whether on the global stage or within our communities, the goal remains the same — to create opportunities, restore hope, and build a future that works for everyone.

Owerri Zone deserves a strong, compassionate voice at the Senate, and I am ready to answer that call.”

Political analysts have described her entry into the race as a game-changer, citing her international exposure, proven track record, and deep grassroots connection as key strengths that set her apart.

For the youths of Owerri Zone, their voices have not only been heard — they have been answered.

And in Dr. Princess Chetachi Nwoga-Ecton, they see not just a candidate, but a symbol of hope, a vessel of change, and a leader ready to chart a new course for the future.
