The entire Muslim community in Nigeria has been congratulated by Acting President Yemi Osinbajo, SAN, as it joins other faithful across the world to commence Ramadan, the holy month of fasting and prayer.
In a release from the office of his spokesman, Laolu Akande, the Acting President implored Muslims to seek maximum benefits from the Ramadan period by replicating the teachings of the Holy Prophet in all their engagements; private and public.
Prof. Osinbajo appealed to all Nigerians especially Muslims to also use the period of Ramadan for reflection on our national challenges and join forces with the Muhammadu Buhari administration to overcome them.
Being a period of spiritual perseverance, temperance, introspection and retrospection with the Almighty Allah, the Acting President urged Muslims to use the Ramadan to renew their commitments to the virtues of love and peace taught by the Holy Prophet Muhammad (SAW), and also work towards achieving them.
While calling on Nigerians to continue to pray for President Muhammadu Buhari, and the nation in general, Prof. Osinbajo also urged Muslim faithfuls to equally remember the less privileged in the society during the special period and wishes all Muslims a blessed Ramadan.
