He congratulated them for successfully completing the fasting and urged them never to allow the lessons of the fasting to go without any meaningful impacts on their lives.

Rt. Hon. Afuye who observed that "Ekiti is a State where Muslims and Christians coexist peacefully", opined that the State House of Assembly would always make laws that give credence to religious tolerance in the State.
