COVID-19: HON. S.O.B AGUNBIADE MODIFIES 10TH EDITION OF HIS ANNUAL RAMADAN LECTURE, SAYS LECTURE WILL NOT HOLD IN CONGREGATION. ...Sets to give relief materials to thousands of households in Ikorodu Constituency 1.

As this Year’s Ramadan is ongoing, Majority Leader, Lagos State House of Assembly, representing Ikorodu Constituency 1, Hon. S.O.B Agunbiade, has modified this year's Ramadan Lecture to observe the Social distancing and preventing the spread of Coronavirus in our society. 

The lawmaker urged Muslims of his Constituency to be steadfast and adjust to the new reality imposed by the coronavirus disease, saying that these challenges are a test of our faith and resilience in the face of tough times.

In a statement made available to MegaXpression Community News, Agunbiade said, "If not for the battle against COVID-19 that has imposed social distancing as a precaution at this period, we would have been preparing for the 10th edition of our Annual Ramadan Lecture and Iftar (feeding of faithful).

"We had proposed May 6th for the lecture themed:" Powerless conscience in the hands of conscienceless power" to be delivered by the seasoned Islamic  Lecturer, Sheikh (Dr) Abdul-Lateef AbduAkeem.

"The theme was borne out of  inspiration to encourage every victim of power game or arbitrary use of power, (in all forms) not to despair as God is always bending the knee of conscience-less power for powerless conscience. Examples are replete in the Holy Quran.

"Sadly this lecture will not hold in congregation because we have to observe social distancing, I resolved therefore to post the theme for our individual appraisal and see how it applies to us and our state in life.

"Moreso, that everyone has one form of power or another,  we need to ponder and check how we apply our conscience to the power we hold and use. Does our use of power recognise  humanity, equity, justice and fair play or do we use our power indiscriminately, assuming  the seemingly status of God who only,  cannot be questioned yet exceptionally considerate in his use of supernatural powers on mankind.

"Therefore, be you head of community, head of family, captains of industries, head of institutions, associations or groups in different shades, I enjoin you  to apply good conscience to the power you  hold and use bearing in mind that all powers are mere  privileges from God.

"In spite of the difficulties of this time, I assure that this year's Iftar will still be activated, but as a special package for Muslim faithful and second round of personally procured relief packs for our non Muslim brothers and sisters.

"We shall also use the opportunity to distribute the cartoons of covid relief received from the Lagos State Government for my constituency," he stated.

Agunbiade therefore wished constituents God's abundant blessings, protection cast in steel and enduring grace in this Ramadan and beyond.
