In his goodwill message marking the sacred period, the former member of the House of Representatives and ex-Chief of Staff to the Governor of Edo State emphasized spiritual renewal, national unity, and moral transformation as key themes for reflection.
Addressing Muslims observing the holy month, Obaghiagbon described Ramadan as a time for deep introspection and reconnection with divine purpose, urging Nigerians to embrace values that foster peace and collective progress.

“As the resplendent lunar crescent scintillates upon the firmament, heralding the advent of this sacrosanct Ramadan, I extend my most exuberant and fulsome felicitations to our Muslim faithfuls on this spiritually fecund season of ascetic devotion, transcendental introspection, and divine rapprochement.
May this hallowed interregnum of fasting and supplication engender within us an effulgent renaissance of piety, temperance, altruism, and moral rectitude, as we supplicate for celestial benedictions and existential purification.
Nigeria will metamorphose into a bastion of concord, prosperity, and inexorable advancement. A pax Nigeriana of our dreams.
Ramadan Kareem!”
The statement, characteristically delivered in Obaghiagbon’s signature grandiloquent style, blends religious reflection with a broader call for national rebirth and unity.
Observers note that his reference to a “pax Nigeriana” underscores a vision of enduring peace and stability in Nigeria, driven by shared values and collective responsibility.
As Muslims across Nigeria and the world commence fasting and prayers during Ramadan, messages such as this continue to highlight the importance of faith, discipline, and national cohesion in shaping the country’s future.
