The Chief Imam of Aramoko-Ekiti, in Ekiti West Local Government Area of Ekiti State, Imam Abdulrohim Alani Junaid Bamigbola, has called on the people in power to use their positions to help their followers and alleviate their suffering through empowerment programmes and job creation.
The religious leader made this call while speaking with Ekiti Standard at the Central Mosque of the town, where the Muslim faithful gathered to offer Eid prayers to Almighty Allah for successful completion of this year Ramadan fasting.
The Chief Imam, who described Eid fitri as the end of Ramadan fasting for Muslims, opined that the day gives them another opportunity to gather before their maker and pray that Allah should grant their heart desires.
He said it’s another opportunity to get closer to Almighty Allah and pray that Allah grant all their heart desires. He therefore, seized the opportunity to encourage Muslim brothers and sisters to sustain the spirit of the Ramadan which he noted drew them closer to Allah and encouraged them to shun all manners of evil act.
As the people of the State are preparing for governorship election, Bamigbola, urged the governorship candidates and other people aspiring for one position or the other in the subsequent elections, to try as much as possible to keep to their electioneering campaigns.
Just as he equally advised the masses to think twice before casting their votes by ensuring that they only vote for those that would represent them better, adding that the youths shouldn’t play around with the politicians that will use them for thuggery while having their own children somewhere else and dump them later.
