Ifako-Ijaiye, Lagos state - Temitope Adedeji Adewale, the majority leader of the Lagos state house of assembly, has extended warm greetings to the Muslim faithful as they celebrate the Eid-el-Kabir 2025.

The All Progressives Congress (APC) chieftain said:

He added:

“Let’s take this moment to show kindness in simple ways — check on a neighbour, share a meal, lend a helping hand. That’s the true spirit of this celebration."

Speaking on his work for the constituency, the lawmaker reaffirmed his commitment to building an Ifako-Ijaiye 01 where everyone feels seen and supported.

He said:

“As your representative, I’m deeply committed to making sure progress and opportunity aren’t just words — but things you can feel in your everyday life."

He rounded off with wishes for the Muslim faithful, saying:

“I wish you and your families peace, good health, and joy — today and always. Barka da Sallah.”
