President of the Senate, Godswill Akpabio, has called on Muslim faithful in Nigeria and across the world to use the holy month of Ramadan as a period of prayer for peace, spiritual renewal, and compassionate living.
Akpabio made the appeal in a goodwill message issued on Friday and signed by his Special Adviser on Media and Publicity, Hon. Eseme Eyiboh, as Muslims commenced the annual fasting period.
He urged the Muslim ummah to dedicate the season to deep spiritual reflection, self-improvement, and strengthening of faith, while also promoting peace, unity, and understanding in society.
“As the Muslim community prepares to observe the holy month of Ramadan, I extend my warmest greetings and felicitations to all Muslims in Nigeria and around the world,” Akpabio said.
“I urge the Muslim ummah to use this sacred period as a time for spiritual reflection, self-improvement, and renewal. I also encourage you to utilise this occasion to strengthen your faith, practice compassion, and promote peace and understanding,” he added.
The Senate President further prayed for divine blessings, peace, and prosperity for Nigerian families and the nation at large, while wishing Muslims a spiritually fulfilling Ramadan.
“May this Ramadan bring peace, prosperity, and blessings to your families and Nigeria at large. I wish you a peaceful and spirit-filled exercise, and may your fasting, prayers, and good deeds be accepted by Allah. Happy Ramadan to all Muslims, and may Allah bless us all,” Akpabio stated.
