The Speaker of the House of Representatives Rep. Abbas Tajudeen, has congratulated Muslims in Nigeria and across the world for witnessing another Ramadan.
The Speaker urged all Muslims to pray for their country, according to him, “there is no better time to pray for Nigeria than in the Holy Month, stating that the country needs divine intervention more than ever before”.
Naijablitznews.com reports that the Ramadan fasting, which is observed by Muslims globally, commenced on Monday in many countries, including Nigeria, after the sighting of the moon.
In a statement signed by the Special Adviser on Media and Publicity to the Speaker, Musa Abdullahi Krishi, Abbas urged not only Muslims but all Nigerians to pray for the unity of the country and for the President Bola Ahmed Tinubu administration to be able to tackle the numerous socio-economic and security challenges facing the nation.
He also urged Nigerians to remember in their prayers, those who have been abducted by various armed groups across the country and have remained in captivity.
“May Almighty Allah (SWT) accept our prayers and supplications as an act of Ibadah, and grant us the grace to navigate through this turbulent time as a nation,” he said.
