In a statement released by his Media Office and made available to journalists in Ibadan, Agboworin expressed his warmest greetings to the Muslim community.

The statement read, “As Muslims mark the end of Ramadan, the holy month of fasting, I join millions of Nigerians to felicitate with them on this joyous occasion of Eid-el-Fitr.

“But as we celebrate this festive occasion, I urge Muslims to continue to uphold the values of compassion, forgiveness, and generosity that are at the heart of the Islamic faith.
