Governorship flag bearer of the Social Democratic Party (SDP) in the last general election in Delta State, Olorogun Barr. Kenneth Gbagi FNIM, OON, has urged Nigerians to unite to forge a common front for the country as he celebrate with Muslim faithful on this year’s Ramadan.
Gbagi, who is the chairman of GKO Property Limited, owners of all major malls in Delta State and a conglomerate reputed as the single largest private sector employer of labour in the State, in a release called on Muslims to tolerate people of other faith on the occasion of the Eid-el-Fitr celebration.
The release signed by his Chief Press Secretary, Kenneth Orusi, on Wednesday April 10, 2024, and made available to journalists, the former Minister of Education (State), prayed that the supplications of the Muslims would be accepted by God.
The philanthropist described Ramadan as an important pillar of Islam, stressing that it was fulfilling for the Muslim faithful to participate in the exercise and see its end to celebrate the Eid-el-Fitri.
According to him, Eid-el-Fitri is the crowning of the blessings received during the Holy month which have drawn the faithful closer to the Almighty Allah.

“I Congratulate the Muslim Ummah on the successful completion of Ramadan. May all the supplications of our Muslim brothers and sisters be accepted.
“May the blessings of Ramadan abide with us all. May we experience peace, prosperity, peaceful coexistence and joy in all spheres of life.
“Let us remember those in need as we celebrate and pray for the stability of our nation,” he said.
