“ Senator Abiru has a great pedigree in Ikorodu. He is following in his father’s footsteps, an eminent personality who was a lover of Islam. We should thank God Ikorodu. He has done really well. May he not be weary”, Sheikh Olowooribi declared.

Guest Lecturer, Sheikh Murtador Amokomowo (Imam Oba), who spoke on the theme, “  Unity as Essential Tool For Community Development”, stressed that Almighty God expected Muslims to be united, and collectively push for causes that will advance political, socio-economic interests of all Muslims.

In his remarks, the Senator, who was represented by his Special Adviser on Constituency Matters, Dr. (Otunba) Saheed Oladapo Ibikunle, said : “This year’s lecture series has served as more than just a forum for religious discussion; it has been a veritable platform for the Muslim community to reflect on the collective advancement of Muslims, and the society at large.

 Through these gatherings, we have fostered a stronger bond among our people, encouraged dialogue on Islamic values, and reinforced the principles of peace, love, and communal harmony that Islam preaches”.

“As we approach the end of this sacred month, let us not relent in our devotion. Let the lessons of Ramadan remain with us beyond these 30 days. Let us continue to support one another, extend kindness to the needy, and pray for   the peace and prosperity of our dear nation, Nigeria.

“I beseech us all to continue to pray for all our leaders, starting from our dear President, His Excellency, Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu, GCFR, our performing governor in Lagos State , His Excellency, Mr. Babajide Olusola Sanwo-Olu, and by extension to all leaders”.
