Former Vice President of Nigeria and Waziri of Adamawa, Atiku Abubakar has urged Muslims and indeed all Nigerians to embrace unity and peace.
He made the call while congratulating Muslim faithful in Nigeria
and around the world on the sighting of the crescent of the Holy month of
Ramadan.
In
a press statement by his media office on Saturday, the former Vice President
noted that the news of the commencement of Ramadan fasting, starting today, the
2nd of April, 2022, is an opportunity for Nigerians to, once again, seek the
blessings and favours of the Almighty Allah in praying for solutions to the
problems that affect us as individuals and as a nation.
“It
is with great joy that I congratulate Muslims in Nigeria and the world over on
the sighting of the Ramadan crescent, which signifies the commencement of
compulsory month-long fasting.
“Going
by the challenges that confront us as a country, this holy month presents us
with another divine opportunity to seek the mercies and blessings of Allah upon
our respective lives and our country as a whole.
“I
will therefore call on Muslims to take utmost advantage of this holy month as
we continue to promote peace and prosperity in the fatherland towards making us
one people with a one future and citizens of one prosperous country.”
Atiku
further admonishes Muslims not to forget the virtues of giving to the less
privileged in the month of Ramadan, and do away from sinful deeds and embrace
good conduct according to the preaching of the Noble Prophet Muhammad.
