Addressing members of the various Muslim women groups during the breaking of the fast for the day, which was also attended by the Deputy Governor, Chief Monisade Afuye, the Secretary to the State Government, Professor Habitat Adubiaro among other dignitaries, appreciated the support of the Muslim Community, especially the womenfolk for the BAO-led administration.
The first lady said Governor Oyebanji is determined more than ever before to make Ekiti a reference point in governance, development and investment in Nigeria and seek the support and prayers of all and sundry to achieve the feat.
While noting that she didn’t take the support of the Muslim Community, especially its womenfolk for granted, the First Lady said the Iftar offered her an opportunity to appreciate their support and solidarity with the Oyebanji Administration.
