President of the Senate, Ahmad Lawan has urged Muslim faithful in Nigeria, in this Holy month of Ramadan, to pray for a peaceful transition of power at the national and sub national levels in the coming months.
In his goodwill message signed by his special adviser on media Mr Ola Awoniyi, Lawan said this Ramadan period provided an opportunity to also pray for the success of the incoming administrations both at the Federal and state levels as they would assume the onerous tasks of continuing the building of a virile and prosperous Nigeria.
Ahmed Lawan thanked Allah for preserving us to again be part of this annual rite of sacrifice, purification and supplications.
He said month of Ramadan is a glorious opportunity for Muslim faithful to thank Allah for His mercies on us as individuals and as a nation and to further seek His guidance and blessings.
The senate presideht believed that as we seek our Merciful Creator’s face, we should also remember the less-privileged around us and show them compassion as commanded by Allah for practical demonstration of our faith and for the good of the society.
The statement explained that this period of Ramadan has met us in Nigeria at a critical period. I do not see it as a mere coincidence that it falls within our political transition period. Let’s use the opportunity to thank Almighty Allah for the successes that we have so far recorded in the conduct of the General Elections and to pray for peaceful transition of power at the national and sub-national levels in the coming months.
He further asked Muslims to equally use the month of Ramadan to pray for the success of the incoming administrations and also pray for Divine guidance for the incoming 10th National Assembly so that they can also successfully perform their roles for ensuring good governance in Nigeria.
“May Allah accept our prayers and supplications.”
