ABUJA (State House Press Report)
President Muhammadu Buhari has called on Nigerians to pray for the return of peace, love and prosperity throughout the country as Muslims start the 2015 Ramadan fast.
In a congratulatory message released by the Senior Special Assistant on Media and Publicity to the President, Garba Shehu, Muhammadu Buhari implored Muslims to seek maximum benefits from the Ramadan period through being helpful to all manner of people as well as learning and following the true message of the religion as taught by the holy prophet.
The President in his message directed an appeal to the perpetrators of violence and destruction in the name of Islam all over the world, demanding them to desist from tarnishing the name of the religion.
“As we make collective efforts to bring to a permanent end the menace of the Boko Haram sect in the Lake Chad Basin countries, let me use this auspicious occasion to appeal to our misguided brothers to drop their arms, embrace peace and seek a better understanding of Islam during this holy period and beyond,” Buhari said.
The President prayed to Allah to bring peace and harmony to all parts of the country and the world at large. “I wish all our citizens a blessed Ramadan. Ramadan Kareem Mubarak,” he stated.
