The Northern Senators Forum on Wednesday felicitates with Nigeria Muslim brothers and sisters at home and across the globe as they mark the end of Ramadan and prepare to celebrate Eid-ul-Fitr, the Festival of Fast-Breaking.
The lawmakers said, as they bask in the blessings of the sacred occasion, they praid that Allah (SWT) will accept their acts of worship and that He continues to safeguard our beloved Nigeria.
In a statement which was made available to CAPITAL POST in Abuja by the Chairman of the Forum, Senator Abdulaziz Musa Yar’adua said:
“Let us persist in our endeavors to foster a peaceful and cohesive society that cherishes the principles of liberty, human dignity, and prosperity for all.
“It is incumbent upon us collectively to offer prayers for our dear President, Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu, and the leadership of our nation at every echelon as we strive to enhance our national fortunes and uplift the standard of living for all Nigerians.
“I extend my warm congratulations to His Eminence, the Sultan of Sokoto, Alhaji Sa’ad Abubakar, the President-General of the Nigerian Supreme Council for Islamic Affairs (NSCIA), and all Muslim organizations and our Muslim brethren for observing a month of Ramadan devoted to peace and spirituality, culminating in the joyous occasion of Eid-ul-Fitr.
“As we transition from the holy month of Ramadan, let us embody the virtues that we have cultivated during this period.
“Let us emulate the spirit of brotherhood, extend individual and communal support, contribute to nation-building, offer prayers for the welfare of our country and its leadership, abide by the laws of the land, and uphold exemplary conduct and the overarching values of Ramadan.
“Furthermore, let us be reminded of our collective obligation to combat injustice, immorality, unfairness, corruption, and inequality. Let us champion justice, patriotism, and dignity in all our pursuits.
“Remember, no situation lasts forever, and by fulfilling our respective roles effectively, we can propel our nation towards a brighter future.
“In closing, I send heartfelt goodwill messages to the Muslim Ummah as they celebrate Eid and extend these same wishes to the entire nation. May this period of festivity be filled with joy, peace, and blessings for all.”
