“Only peace can guarantee social economic growth and developmen­t. We can achieve nothing without peace.

“The developmen­t in Sudan is not only disturbing and worrisome. Only those who are experienci­ng the situation would appreciate the need to have peace in our land.

“We thank God almighty for being merciful to us as Nigerians because in spite of everything, we enjoy relative peace.”

“I celebrate with my Muslim brothers and sisters the successful completion of Ramadan fasting and the celebratio­n of Eid-el-Fitr.

“I call on Muslims in Nigeria to continue to practice and promote the act of taking care of the vulnerable and less-privileged people in the our society even as I urge them to continue to live in peace and unity with others in their respective communitie­s

“I also urge us to pray for the successful handing over of power by President Muhammadu Buhari to President-elect, Bola Ahmed Tinubu on May 29, 2023.”

The APC chieftain, saluted the Muslim faithful for their resilience and selfless efforts during the holy month, urging them to replicate the piety imbibed during the period in governance and personal lives for the nation to be redirected to the path of sanity.
