Ramadan: Buhari addresses Muslims
President Muhammadu Buhari has sent his greetings and best wishes to Muslims in Nigeria and across the world as they commence the 30-day Ramadan fast.
In his message to the nation on the beginning of the Ramadan, the President stated that fasting was not just merely meant to stay hungry or thirsty, but an opportunity to strive for inner purification and self-accountability.
âIt is meant to inculcate righteousness and discipline,â he said in a statement issued by his spokesman, Garba Shehu.
Buhari enjoined fasting Muslims to increase their love for humanity, acts of charity, kindness, generosity and gratitude.
âHe says the Holy Prophet Muhammad used to spend very generously on the poor and the needy during this period, and urges Muslims in the country and all over the world to copy the good example.
âHe calls on Muslims and all Nigerians to always remember men and women who are less fortunate than themselves and to help the government in confronting the challenges facing the nation.
âThe President prays Allah to grant all Muslims the strength to successfully complete the fasting periodâ, the statement added.
