Tinubu Urges Unity and Devotion as Muslims Commence Ramadan

President Bola Tinubu has urged Nigerians to embrace unity, strengthen their commitment to Allah, and perform deeds of kindness for the less fortunate as Muslims over the nation begin the holy month of Ramadan.
Tinubu emphasized the month’s spiritual significance and exhorted people to use it for introspection, self-control, and a fresh dedication to promoting harmony and advancement in their local communities.
During Ramadan, people should engage in introspection, reaffirm their loyalty to Allah, and perform deeds of kindness and charity for others. It is a time for self-control, compassion for the underprivileged, and spiritual renewal.
Let’s make the most of this time to deepen our relationships with Allah and each other, promoting harmony and peace in our neighborhoods,” Tinubu said.
Throughout the holy month, the president hoped that his words and deeds would demonstrate a shared commitment to peace, solidarity, and national advancement.

According to reports, Sa’ad Abubakar III, the Sultan of Sokoto, formally proclaimed the start of Ramadan and asked Muslims to offer prayers for the stability and advancement of Nigeria.

“The council confirmed the beginning of the fasting period by verifying and accepting reports of moon sightings from various regions,” he said.

The Sultan stressed the value of helping the underprivileged so that they, too, may fully enjoy the holy month and urged Muslims to engage in charitable deeds.
