Eid Mubarak from the Mayoress of Ikosi-Isheri LCDA, Princess Samiat Abolanle Bada

As we step into the joy of Eid after the sacred month of Ramadan, I celebrate with every Muslim in Ikosi-Isheri LCDA and beyond. This season reminds us that patience, sacrifice, and faith always lead to divine rewards. The discipline and devotion of Ramadan must now transform into a lifelong commitment to kindness, unity, and progress. Eid is a call to action—to spread love where there is division, to uplift those in need, and to work together for a stronger and more prosperous Ikosi-Isheri. Our community is built on the strength of our people, and together, we can achieve greatness. May this Eid bring you renewed hope, answered prayers, and boundless blessings. Let us continue to build a future of peace, growth, and shared success. Ikosi-Isheri is rising, and we rise together! _Eid Mubarak!_ Princess Samiat Abolanle Bada Mayoress, Ikosi-Isheri LCDA Queen Mother  Face of Kosofe  Oluomo of Kosofeland  Yeyeoge of Ijanikin kingdom  Yeyesewa of Ilara Kingdom
