ADP Presidential Aspirant, Prof. Muhammad Omolaja sends Eid-El-Fitr Message To Nigerians
ADP Presidential Aspirant, Prof. Muhammad Omolaja sends Eid-El-Fitr Message To Nigerians
Action Democratic Party (ADP) – presidential aspirant, professor (Alhaji, Prince Chief) Muhammad Ayinla has sent his greetings to Muslims in Nigeria and across the world.
“I feel honored, privileged and highly delighted to send you this warmest end-of-Ramadan message as we celebrate the end of the Holy month of Ramadan for the year 2026 today, March 20, 2026, which is a unique and special moment for Muslims in Nigeria and around the world.
It is the Allah’s ordered period for all Muslims individually and collectively to renew their faiths in, and closeness to, the One and Only One Almighty Allah; and to become more attuned to spirituality. While the Holy month of Ramadan is marked by celebrations, gathering with friends and family to pray, sharing in the Iftar meals and exchange of gifts, it is our candid advice that Muslims around the world should also remember those less fortunate or less privileged around us in our communities.
The Muslim communities are a hugely valued part of our society. Our values of community and coming together for the common good lie at the heart of Ramadan. These are the norms and values which unite us as Muslims anywhere we find ourselves.
Our remarkable influence can be observed across all spheres of our societies; from politics, social engagements, education, media and business to sports, fashion, and so on. We enrich our great country, Nigeria, and other great nations of the world, and also we benefit from the talents of our Muslim colleagues and neighbours in no small measures.
In the meantime, I hereby use this medium to remind all members of our great Party (ADP), old and new, and the general public that the online and physical membership registration of the Party is ongoing. You don’t need to wait until you get in touch with your Party Chairman before you get yourself registered. Just register online and your membership card will be sent to you directly by the National Secretary of the Party. You then take your card personally or by any online means like WhatsApp or email to your Ward Chairman for your physical registration.
As the Presidential Aspirant of our great Party – Action Democratic Party (ADP) – on behalf of the entire members of the great Action Democratic Party (ADP) global family in Nigeria and in Diaspora, while wishing all of us taking part in this year’s festivities a safe, peaceful and spiritually energized end-of-Ramadan, I wish all Nigerians individually and collectively Ramadan Mubarak. Specifically, I hereby extend my best wishes, again, to Muslim communities across the world a heartfelt Eid Mubarak.

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.
