Otunba Denny Ibrahim Olusegun OLADIPUPO, the Chairman, Ojude Oba Iperu 2025 Planning Committee, and Iperu Mini Stadium Committee has felicitated Muslims on the celebration of the 2025 Eid-il-Fitri festival which marks the successful conclusion of the Ramadan fasting.

Otunba OLADIPUPO in his message of  felicitations, rejoiced with the entire Iperu Muslim community, both at home, and in the diaspora, for the grace to successfully observe, and conclude the holy month of Ramadan, leading to the Eid-il-Fitri celebration.

He thanked Allah for his protection over the muslim ummah and wished them a glorious celebration.

He however enjoined them to continue to adhere strictly to the teachings of the Holy Prophet Muhammed (SAW), as they continue to live a life of piety, and total abstinence from all acts of immorality after the Ramadan.

OLADIPUPO equally urged them to rededicate their lives to service to humanity, by assisting the poor, the needy, and the less-privileged, while they should also embrace the spirit of love, peace, and forgiveness, towards their fellow humans, and gratitude towards Allah.

The holy month of Ramadan, the 9th in the islamic calendar, preceeding the 10th month of Shawwal, is one of the five pillars of Islam, and lays the basis for how Muslims are required to live their lives.

It is a private act of worship that encourages deep spiritual reflection and brings about nearness to God, spiritual discipline, and a means to empathize with the less fortunate within the society.

The Eid-il-Fitri on its part, is the festival for the breaking of fast, which marks the end of Ramadan, and it is usually a great celebration, whereby prayers are offered to Allah, and families, friends, and associates come together to eat and also exchange gifts.

Meanwhile, the Chairman has assured of a timely completion of the Mini stadium/sports arena project that will serve as a venue of the 2025 Ojude Oba celebration. 

He made this known shortly after his visit to the site to monitor the spate of works being carried out by the contractor.

OLADIPUPO appreciated members of the stadium committee and the team of Volunteers for their commitment to the project's actualization. 

He also expressed his appreciation to members of the Ojude Oba Iperu Planning Committee for their support, just as he called for the support of all sons and daughters of Iperu Akesanland towards a successful hosting of this year's edition of the age-long festival, which shall be celebrated on the third day of Ileya.
