Bola Tinubu, president-elect, says he is ready to walk with
all Nigerians.
Speaking in a statement on Thursday to felicitate with
Muslims on the occasion of the Eid-el-Fitri celebration, Tinubu said citizens
should constantly seek to become a better version of themselves in patriotism,
dedication to duty, and honesty.
“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,” he said.
“Beyond the self-abnegation and pious living that the
fasting period imposed on us, the spiritual exercise we just concluded has also
helped us to improve our moral character, and 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 of 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.
“We are at the dawn of a Renewed Hope for a better, greater,
and more prosperous Nigeria and I stand ready to walk with all Nigerians, young
and old, male and female, with this opportunity to serve you in honour and
dignity.
“This is a commitment that I have made and one in which we
cannot afford to fail. I wish all Muslims in Nigeria and beyond a happy Sallah
celebration.”
