Eid-el-Kabir 2025 message

In a personal message on Friday, June 6, 2025, made exclusively available to Legit.ng, Adewale reflected on the meaning of the season, describing it as a time to look inward and reach outward.

The All Progressives Congress (APC) chieftain said:

“Eid-el-Adha reminds us that life isn’t just about what we can take, but also about what we’re willing to give — whether it’s our time, our love, or our support for one another."

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."
