President Muhammadu Buhari has welcomed the beginning of the Muslims’ Holy Month of Ramadan, which marks the commencement of the 30 days of fasting.
In a message to the nation to mark the occasion on Monday, President Buhari prayed to Allah to accept the sacrifices, and increase the unity, solidarity, peace and prosperity of the nation.
The President in a statement issued by his Senior Special Assistant On Media And Publicity, Garba Shehu, urged Muslims in the country to exercise patience and tolerance, and reject the 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.
