As our Muslim brothers and sisters across Nigeria and Edo State celebrate the joyous occasion of Eid-ul-Fitr, Dr. Paddy Emmanuel, extend his heartfelt Baraka Da Sallah greetings to you all. This sacred festival marks the end of Ramadan, a period of deep spiritual renewal, sacrifice, and devotion to Almighty Allah. May the divine blessings of this season bring you renewed hope, happiness, and good health.
However, even in this moment of celebration, our heart goes out to the families of those who lost their lives in the tragic incident in Uromi. We share in your grief and pray that Almighty Allah grants their souls eternal rest while comforting their loved ones in these difficult times.
In the face of this tragedy, We commend the Executive Governor of Edo State, Sen. Monday Okpebholo, for swiftly implementing strong security measures to prevent such unfortunate incidents from recurring. The safety of our people is paramount, and we urge all citizens to remain calm, vigilant, and united as we collectively work towards a more secure and prosperous Edo State.
Let this Eid-ul-Fitr be a time of peace, love, and unity, fostering harmony across our great state and nation. May Almighty Allah bless and guide us all toward a brighter future.
Happy Eid Mubarak Celebration!
Dr. Paddy Emmanuel
Hon. Commissioner For Education, Edo State.
