Ramadan, Lent: Hon. Olusayo ‘Bibiire’ Urges Prayer For Ogbomoso South, Nigeria

As we witness the beginning of Ash Wednesday and the holy month of Ramadan, we are reminded of the powerful role faith plays in shaping our lives and strengthening our community.

For our Christian brothers and sisters, Ash Wednesday marks the start of Lent a sacred season of repentance, sacrifice, and spiritual renewal. For our Muslim faithful, Ramadan begins a month of fasting, devotion, discipline, and increased charity.

Though the observances may differ, the message remains deeply connected to humility before God, compassion toward one another, and a renewed commitment to living better, more purposeful lives.

At this important moment, we are called not only to pray and fast but also to reflect on how we can strengthen our unity as a people. Our community becomes stronger when we respect our differences, support one another, and work together for peace and progress.

Leadership is not only about policies; it is also about standing with the people in moments of faith, reflection, and shared responsibility. As we enter this sacred season, may our prayers bring healing to our land, wisdom to our leaders, and hope to every household in Ogbomoso South and beyond.

May this solemn period inspire greater kindness, generosity to the less privileged, and a deeper commitment to building the future we all desire.

Wishing all Christians a meaningful Lenten season and all Muslims a blessed Ramadan.

Bibiire For The People. With The People. Always.
