According to the monarch: “I congratulate all Muslim faithful on this year Eid Fitri. This is no doubt another delicate season in the history of mankind most especially in Nigeria where we are not left out of the ravaging coronavirus plus the fragile security threatening our unity. Muslims must respect peace as the tenet of their religion and uphold one Nigeria.”
“As a Muslim, we need to surprise the world such that the bad eggs using Muslim names to perpetrate atrocities can be easily identified and prosecuted”
“I appeal to Muslims to respect the words of Quran and the Sunnah of Prophet Muhammad. Also, Christians should respect the Bible and the words of Jesus Christ. Doing so will make our country saner with lesser security issues. Let’s be an example and symbol of what the two religions represent” Oluwo concluded.
