President Muhammadu Buhari, Monday has welcomed the beginning of Muslims’ holy month of Ramadan, which marks the commencement of 30 days of fasting.

President Buhari in his message to the nation by his senior special Assistant on Media Publicity, Mallam Garbage prayed to Allah to accept our sacrifices and increase the unity, solidarity, peace and prosperity of the nation.

He urged Muslims in the country to exercise patience and tolerance and reject voices that seek to divide the nation.

He also urged all citizens to show compassion to the millions of the less endowed and remember those that have been displaced by conflict in their charity and prayers in this important period.

Similarly, President of the Senate, Ahmad Lawan, has urged the Muslim faithfuls to stress messages of peace, love and National unity as Month of Ramadan begins across the Islamic world.

In a statement on Monday, Sen. Lawan urged the Muslim faithfuls to remember the Month as a period of fasting, sober reflection, self-discipline, and sacrifice.

His statement reads, “I urge us to remember our dear country in our prayers as we seek to overcome the challenges we are facing as a nation.

“This is in the realisation that Allah is the Almighty, kind and greater than all human problems.

“I enjoin us to stress the importance of peace, love, generosity and unity in our teachings during this sacred period.

“We should also not let down our guards in the observance of COVID-19 non-pharmaceutical protocols in our spiritual and other activities during the Holy Month,” Lawan said.
