The President of the Senate, Ahmad Lawan, has felicitated the Muslim Ummah in Nigeria on the completion of this year’s Ramadan fast.
Lawan also wished all the faithful a happy Eid-el Fitr.
He said; “Every true Muslim feels joy at participating in the Ramadan fast, which is a key obligation in Islam. May Almighty Allah therefore reward us for the spiritual voyage and grant our earnest wishes for ourselves, families and dear country.
“Because of the current security and economic challenges, our country Nigeria needs the prayers of every patriot now more than ever before to achieve the peace, unity and progress that were the dreams of the founding fathers.”
“I assure us that the Government, including the National Assembly, will not waver in its determination to provide robust security in the country that guarantees every law abiding citizen the liberty to live in peace and pursue their legitimate businesses anywhere they choose.
“Let us remain strong in our hope that Nigeria will become what we fervently want it to be: a nation that fills its citizens with happiness and pride,” Lawan said.
The Senate President however, wished all Muslim faithful a joyful and peaceful celebration responsibly shared with family, friends and the less-privileged.
