Governor Ademola Adeleke of Osun State has assured the residents of the state that their sacrifices will not go unrewarded.

This assurance was contained in Governor Adeleke’s Eid-el-Kabir message signed by his spokesperson, Olawale Rasheed, on Friday in Osogbo.

Governor Adeleke, who congratulated Muslims in the state and beyond for the spiritual renewal that the moment offers, called for a deep reflection on the way that faith in Allah can overcome any challenges and create a path for lifelong benefits.

The governor also tasked the Muslim faithful to use this sacred moment to renew their commitment to help those in distress and support efforts that elevate communities.

Recognising the value of sacrifices and devotion which God conveyed to mankind through Prophet Ibrahim, ASW, and his son, Prophet Ismail, ASW, he said, “When Allah asked Prophet Ibrahim, ASW, to sacrifice his son, Prophet Ismail, ASW, he didn’t look back and pushed ahead to carry out the instruction. It was unusual, and that total submission to the will of Allah, which Prophet Ibrahim, ASW, demonstrated, didn’t go unrewarded.”

He also said, “Eid-Il-Kabir is a celebration of faith and the bountiful rewards that come with sacrifices. It is also a moment to reflect on the lessons of devotion and its power to overcome the pains of the moment and ensure a future that is full of excitement.

“Osun is blessed to have people of firm resolve for progress. Through perseverance, resourcefulness, and commitment for growth, Osun people have sided with our genuine efforts at transforming lives and building hopes for a better future.

“As a government, we are taking initiatives that will reward the faith of the people in our administration, alleviating past disappointments with visible and impactful deliverables. I call for sustained support and prayer for our administration in our continued drive to make Osun the envy of other places not just in Nigeria, but across Africa.”

On his part, the Minister of Marine and Blue Economy, Adegboyega Oyetola, called for reflection on the values of sacrifice, faith, and unity that define the season.

In a goodwill message made available by his Special Adviser, Dr. Bolaji Akinola, on Friday, Oyetola, who is the immediate past Governor of Osun State and leader of the All Progressives Congress, APC, in the state, described Eid el-Kabir as a time of deep spiritual significance, rooted in the legacy of total submission to the will of Allah.

“Eid al-Adha reminds us of Prophet Ibrahim’s unwavering obedience and devotion to God. It is a sacred time to renew our faith, extend compassion to others, and rededicate ourselves to service, both to God and to humanity,” the Minister stated.

While commending the resilience and industrious spirit of the residents of the state, Oyetola urged citizens across religious and political divides to use the season to foster harmony, mutual respect, and collective progress in the state.

He paid special tribute to APC members, leaders, and loyalists in the state, acknowledging their steadfast commitment to the ideals of the party.

“I salute the dedication of our APC family in Osun. Your loyalty, perseverance, and unwavering belief in the progressive vision of our great party are deeply appreciated. Let this celebration be a moment of reflection, a call to deepen our unity, and a recommitment to the noble cause of building a greater Osun and a stronger Nigeria,” he said.

Oyetola also emphasised the importance of reaching out to the needy and upholding the social values that Islam promotes during Eid, noting that sacrifice is not only symbolic but practical through acts of kindness, generosity, and community support.

The Minister prayed for peace and progress across the state and nation, asking Allah to accept the sacrifices of the faithful and grant leaders the wisdom to guide with integrity and compassion.

Governor of Imo State, His Excellency Distinguished Senator Hope Uzodimma, has paid a deeply emotional and reflective birthday tribute to his wife, expressing profound gratitude, love, and appreciation for her unwavering companionship and strength throughout their shared journey in life.

In the message released to mark her birthday, the Governor described his wife as a steadfast partner whose presence has brought him joy, balance, and reassurance. He conveyed how privileged he feels to walk the path of life with her by his side, portraying her as dependable, faithful, and strong in moments of certainty and uncertainty alike.

Drawing from literary wisdom, Governor Uzodimma likened his wife to a guiding light in turbulent times, noting that her love has been a source of direction and comfort. He referenced the words of Johann Wolfgang von Goethe to illustrate a love that nurtures rather than controls, explaining that through their union, he has come to understand how genuine love cultivates patience, courage, and enduring hope.

The Governor further reflected on their shared accomplishments, emphasizing that their relationship has gone beyond planning and aspirations to the building of a purposeful and meaningful life together. He described each achievement as a joint success and every milestone as evidence of unity, shared resolve, and mutual commitment. In alignment with Aristotle’s philosophy of love as a single soul dwelling in two bodies, he affirmed that their past experiences and future aspirations remain inseparably connected, with greater accomplishments still ahead.

Offering prayers for his wife, Governor Uzodimma called on God to continually guide her steps, bless all her endeavors, and grant her long life, sound health, and abiding peace. He reassured her of the deep and enduring love she shares with him and their children, a bond he described as far beyond what words can fully capture.

The Governor concluded the tribute by warmly wishing his wife a joyful birthday, celebrating her not only as a life partner but as a pillar of strength, love, and inspiration within their family.
