President Muhammadu Buhari has
sent his greetings and best wishes to Muslims in Nigeria and across the world
as they commence the 30-day Ramadan fast.
In his message to the nation on
the beginning of the Ramadan, the President stated that fasting was not just
merely meant to stay hungry or thirsty, but an opportunity to strive for inner
purification and self-accountability.
“It is meant to inculcate
righteousness and discipline,” he said in a statement issued by his spokesman,
Garba Shehu.
Buhari enjoined fasting Muslims
to increase their love for humanity, acts of charity, kindness, generosity and
gratitude.
“He says the Holy Prophet
Muhammad used to spend very generously on the poor and the needy during this
period, and urges Muslims in the country and all over the world to copy the
good example.
“He calls on Muslims and all
Nigerians to always remember men and women who are less fortunate than
themselves and to help the government in confronting the challenges facing the
nation.
“The President prays Allah to
grant all Muslims the strength to successfully complete the fasting period”,
the statement added.
