Morka added that Nigerians should make the best of the season with the holy Ramadan which is period of fasting for the Muslims and the Christian fasting period taking place at the same time, saying this signifies that the country is truly in the hands of God.
“Ramadan marks the commencement of a month-long fasting on the Islamic calendar. It is a season of renewed devotion to Almighty Allah, and service to nation and humanity.
“As this year’s Ramadan commences, our great Party urges prayers for Nigeria’s prosperity, security and unity. It also behoves us to pray for our leaders at all levels, and extend love and care to the less-priviledged around us”.
“We pray Almighty Allah to imbue in our Islamic faithful the spirit of sacrifice, humility, mercy and kindness”.
