The Senator for Oyo South senatorial district, Dr Mohammed Kola Balogun has congratulated the Muslim brethren on this year's Eid el Kabir celebration, popularly known as Ileya.
Sen. Kola Balogun issues this statement through his Special Adviser on Communication, following the confirmation of Sunday 11th August as Eid el Kabir with the subsequent announcement of Monday and Tuesday 12th & 13th August, 2019 as public holiday.
The Senator continued his message by saying; "Where we are today is far better than where we were last year in Oyo State and we should continue praying for the state, all leaders and particularly Governor Seyi Makinde so that we can keep improving on the welfare and amenities of our people".
However, Senator Kola Balogun didn't conclude his message without giving the admonition that the people should celebrate modestly, be security and safety conscious; that we shouldn't get carried away with the euphoria of the festival.
"Once again, congratulations to us all for witnessing another Eid el Kabir"
Signed.
