The Edo state Governorship Candidate of the New Nigeria People’s Party, NNPP, Dr Azemhe Azena has sent a congratulatory message to the Muslims in the state on the successful commencement of the holy month of Ramadan.

Speaking through his media team in Benin, the Edo state capital, the ebullient Televangelist and politician calls for a moment of solitude and prayers for God’s intervention in the affairs of the state and the nation in general.

Dr. Azemhe Azena also calls for peace and piety as ” we fulfill one of the five pillars of Islam while living an exemplary life of our great Prophet Mohammed (PBUH)”

In a similar development, the state chapter of NNPP has earlier called on the Muslim faithful to take advantage of the moment to pray for a peaceful and transparent election that will usher in a God-fearing governor in the upcoming governorship election in the state.

The NNPP state chairman, Elder Fred Nwangwe made this known earlier in his message to the Muslim faithful in Edo state.

The month of Ramadan is a yearly period for Muslims all over the world to observe one of the five fundamentals and pillars of the Islamic Faith by fasting and praying for thirty days.
