*Assalamu Alaikum.*
A Heartfelt Dua for the Commencement of Ramadan to All Muslims.
…Bismillahir Rahmanir Raheem
O Allah, the Most Merciful and the Most Gracious, we humbly stand before You as we begin this sacred month of Ramadan, the month of mercy, forgiveness, and countless blessings. Ya Allah, grant us the strength to do our fasting sincerely for Your sake, to worship with devotion, and to seek Your pleasure in all that we do.
Ya Rahman, purify our hearts, cleanse our souls, and increase us in taqwa. Open the doors of Your mercy upon us, forgive our past sins, and guide us toward righteousness. Make our fasting easy, accept our prayers, and let the Qur’an be a light in our hearts and a source of guidance in our lives.
Ya Rabb, in this blessed month, uplift the weak, provide for the needy, heal the sick, and grant peace to the oppressed. Protect the Ummah, unite our hearts, and bless us with prosperity, love, and harmony.
Ya Allah, let us witness the Night of Power (Laylatul Qadr) and grant us its immense rewards. Answer our supplications, remove our burdens, and bestow upon us the honor of being among those whom You forgive completely before this month ends.
O Allah, when Ramadan departs, let it leave us better than it found us—more steadfast in faith, purer in heart, and closer to You. Accept our deeds, and grant us Jannah without reckoning.
Ameen, Ya Rabbal ‘Alamin.

NAWOJ National Secretary

Breaking: Court of Appeal rules in favour of Turaki -led PDP candidate for Osun governorship election
The Court of Appeal, Abuja Division, on Thursday, ruled that the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP Gubernatorial Candidate in Osun State was validly nominated by the Tanimu Turaki-led National Working Committee.
The court also ordered INEC to list the PDP logo on the ballot ahead of Saturday’s gubernatorial election.
The Court held that access code is neither a creation of the Constitution nor the Electoral Act; rather, a creation of INEC’s guidelines and cannot, in any way, override the provisions of the Constitution.
Section 288 of the Constitution does not specify the method for nominating candidates; it only states that the names of candidates should be forwarded to the Commission.
The court further held that the defendant (INEC) should take steps to include the name of the appellant on the ballot paper.
Additionally, the court ruled that the primary election conducted by the Tanimu Turaki-led National Working Committee (NWC) of the PDP was a valid primary election in law.
The three-man panel of justices—Justice Mahmud, Justice Jaro, and Justice Ankawere, was unanimous in its judgment.
