President of the Senate, Senator Godswill Akpabio has enjoined the Muslim faithfuls to use the period of Ramadan to pray for peace in the country and the world.
He also advised them to use the exercise to practice compassion and engender understanding among people.
Akpabio gave the counsel in a goodwill message signed by his Special Adviser on Media and Publicity, Hon. Eseme Eyiboh.
He said as the Muslim community prepares to observe the holy month of Ramadan, “I extend my warmest greetings and felicitations to all Muslims in Nigeria and around the world”.
“I wish to urge the Muslim ummah to use this sacred period as a time for spiritual reflection, self-improvement, and renewal”.
Akpabio further encouraged Muslims to also utilise this occasion as an opportunity to strengthen their faith, practice compassion, and promote peace and understanding.
