A Chairmanship Aspirant of the All Progressive Congress APC, from Ipokia Local Government in the upcoming Local Government elections, Mr. Seyon Isaac Tovidetho has called on Muslim faithful all over to sustain all the virtues imbibed and learnt during the Holy month of Ramadan.

Mr. Tovidetho who made the call on Thursday in a congratulatory message made available to Journalists by his Media Aide, Mr. Femi Adeogo on the successful completion of Ramadan said, "we should not forget to show love to one another and share with the needy because Almighty Allah delights in our giving to the less privileged in the society.

"This is the time to give and show unconditional love to all those around us especially those who cannot afford the basic necessities of life", Tovidetho enjoined.

Stressing that the spiritual exercise had brought deeper relationship and closeness to Allah, the Maun born grassroot politician charged Muslims to use the avenue to pray for peace in the country and for solution against the ravaging insecurity challenges.

The APC Chairmanship Aspirant while congratulating Muslims on the successful completion of Ramadan said the celebration of Eid-el-Fitr, marks the end of the holy month of Ramadan.

He therefore enjoined all to celebrate in moderation and be security conscious especially during the festive period.
