The wife of the Kogi State Governor, Hajiya Sefinat Ododo, has called on Muslims to embrace the virtues of charity, love, and compassion during and beyond the Ramadan period.
Hajiya Ododo made the call while hosting women groups to an iftar at the Government House in Lokoja.
She described almsgiving as one of the key virtues of Ramadan and emphasized the importance of spiritual devotion, unity, and mutual support among residents of the state.
The Kogi First Lady noted that Ramadan serves as a period for promoting love, forgiveness, and unity, stressing that the practice of these values would help build more peaceful and closely knit homes and communities.
She also expressed appreciation to the women who attended the event and encouraged them to instill love, discipline, and strong moral values in their children.
In his remarks, the Chief Imam of the Government House, Alhaji Bashir Musa, commended Hajiya Sefinat Ododo for her commitment to promoting faith and unity among women in the state and also offered prayers for her and her family.
Participants at the event described the breaking of fast as a practical demonstration of cooperation and unity and urged Nigerians to embrace tolerance, dialogue, and a sense of shared humanity despite their differences.
