The President-elect, Asiwaju Bola Tinubu has stated that he is ready to walk with all Nigerians, young and old, male and female, with the opportunity to serve them in honour and dignity.
This was disclosed in a felicitation message to the Muslims and all Nigerians via the official page of the President-elect, he added it was a commitment that he had made and one in which he cannot afford to fail.
The statement partly reads: “For Muslims in our country and all over the world, Ramadan is a sacred spiritual obligation as one of the five pillars of Islam. With the help of Almighty Allah, we have gone through a period of abstinence, self-discipline, self-reflection, self-purification in gratitude and total submission to the will of Allah. We have engaged in fervent prayers and supplications to Allah”.
“Beyond the self-abnegation and pious living that the fasting period imposed on us, the spiritual excercise we just concluded has also helped us to improve on our moral character, refine our minds in pursuit of higher ideals for which there should be no turning back”.
“At the heart of our faith and a major demand on all faithful is the requirement to commit ourselves to wholesome living. This entails love for one another, love for fellow humans regardless of creed, region and ethnicity, love for our communities and love for country. To love one another, have compassion, empathy and love our beloved country means we must become better citizens in line with the teachings of Prophet Muhammed”.
“We must constantly seek to become a better version of ourselves in patriotism, dedication to duty and honesty. We must also never be weary of doing what is right, fair and just to all, We are at the dawn of a Renewed Hope for a better, greater and a more prosperous Nigeria”.
The President-elect wished all Muslims in Nigeria and beyond happy Sallah celebration.
