Ogbeni Rauf Aregbesola, the Governor of Osun State has directed the 26th Anniversary of the State of Osun be prayer-centred.
The Governor has therefore requested that all mosques across the state should make Special Prayers on Friday at the Jumat Service.
According to a special release signed by the state’s Commissioner for Information and Strategy, Mr Adelani Baderinwa, the Governor requested that all Christians across the state should use Sunday for Special Prayers for the state.
The 26th Anniversary comes up on Sunday, August 27, 2017. The state was created in 1991.
The need for the Special Prayers is to underscore the goodness of God to the people and environment of Osun since it was created.
Governor Aregbesola stated that it is not only the inspiration of the Governor that can make massive and rapid developments witnessed in the state possible but greatly that of God.
It is particularly heartwarming that the Aregbesola administration has taken Osun to the front line of real development which will bring rosy future.
The special prayer is thus meant to further seek the face of God for the protection and wellbeing of the people of the state and for more development, progress and peace of the state.
The Governor thanked all the people of the state for their support and cooperation, just has asked for the collective efforts of residents and people of the State towards realising the dream of its founding fathers.
