While speaking at a Special Iftar session hosted by Ibadan APC Chieftain, Oloye Akinade Fìjàbi, Tegbe noted that the last ten days of Ramadan provide opportunities to gain multiple rewards by giving alms to the needy.

He said: “Of particular note, Laylatul Qadr, the most sacred nights in the Islamic calendar. It is also believed to be the night in which Allah shows mercy to His creation.”

Tegbe also noted that Ramadan symbolises spiritual rejuvenation.

He urged Muslims to emulate the lifestyle of Prophet Muhammed.
