Dear Good People of Kogi State,
Assalamu Alaikum Wa Rahmatullah Wa Barakatuh.
As we mark the successful completion of the holy month of Ramadan, I extend my heartiest congratulations to the Muslim Ummah across Kogi state. This Eid-el-Fitr is not just a celebration of breaking the fast; it is a victory for the virtues of patience, sacrifice, and self-discipline that we have cultivated over the past 30 days.
In my capacity as SSA on Community Peace Building, I urge us all to use this festive period to reflect on the "Kogi Project"—a vision of a state where our rich diversity is our greatest strength. Peace is the essential ingredient for the development we all desire.
Our Commitment to You:
Under the leadership of His Excellency, Governor Ahmed Usman Ododo, the state government remains resolutely committed to your safety. We are working tirelessly with traditional rulers and local vigilantes to ensure that every inch of Kogi land remains a haven for peace and progress.
My Call to Action for Every Kogite:
Embrace Unity: Let us look beyond artificial divisions of tribe or religion. We are one family, united by our shared hope for a prosperous state.
Be Vigilant: Security is a collective responsibility. I enjoin you to cooperate with security agencies and report any suspicious movements within your communities.
Practice Charity: In the spirit of Eid, remember the less privileged, the widows, and the orphans. A hand of love extended today is a seed of peace planted for tomorrow.
May the blessings of Almighty Allah fill your homes with joy and your hearts with the spirit of forgiveness. Let us emerge from this Ramadan more united and determined to build a greater Kogi State.
Eid Mubarak! Barka da Sallah!
Signed,
Mrs Olukomogbon Oluwawemimo Eunice
Senior Special Assistant (SSA) on Community Peace Building,
Kogi State Government.
