Wasiu Olafisoye Akinmoyede, an APC candidate for the Akinyele/Lagelu Federal Constituency in the 2023 general elections, has joined other Nigerians in congratulating Muslims around the world, particularly those in Oyo State and the Akinyele/Lagelu constituency who are participating in this year's eid il Kabir (Ileya) festival celebration.
The congratulations were expressed in a statement that Hon. Olafisoye, also known as "Lafi," personally signed and made accessible to reporters.
During and after the celebration, he urged Muslims to emulate the unity, love, tolerance, and sacrifice displayed by the Holy Prophet Ibrahim in their interactions with one another.
If elected in 2023, Hon. Lafi promised to ensure proper and effective representation that will comfort the oppressed. He also took the opportunity to thank APC members in the Akinyele/Lagelu Federal Constituency for giving him the chance to represent the party at next year's general elections.
He said:” I Prince Wasiu Olafisoye Akinmoyede, popularly known as ‘Lafi’ congratulate Muslim faithfuls and indeed the good people of Oyo State and the people of my federal constituency, Akinyele/Lagelu on this year’s Eid-il-Kabir celebrations.
“As much as the period is for merry making and offering of thanks to Allah, we should always be mindful of the activities of the evil ones in our different societies.
“Therefore, there is need for everyone to be vigilant and security conscious.
“I want to reiterate the need for the people in this state to be their brothers’ keepers by making sure that relevant information in and around their environment are made available to the relevant security agencies so as to have a hitch free celebration. Congratulations and Barka de Sallah.”
