He felicitates with all the muslims for their sacrificial demonstration of patience, love and endurance all through the 30 days period of the Holy Ramadan.l, contained in a statement signed by Mr Celestine Toruka, Deputy Director and Head Media and Public Relations.
He said the celebration of EID-EL-FITR gives our muslim brothers and sisters a unique opportunity to thank God for his mercies and protection over their lives .
In the words of the Executive Secretary,”the fact that this year’s EID-EL-FITR coincides with the transition period of this government which goes to show that the fasting of our Muslim brothers and sisters during the Holy Ramadan will surely guarantee the much expected smooth hand over to a new democratically elected government on May 29, 2023.”
He urged all Muslims to be their brothers keeper by extending their hands of fellowship to all irrespective of their religious differences, tribe and political persuasion.
Rev Pam further affirmed that though the country is currently facing some challenges as a nation, but with your prayers and the powers of the Almighty God, certainly the glory of Nigeria will be restored again sooner than expected.
Once again I wish to heartily congratulate all our Muslim brothers and sisters for being part of history as they celebrate this year,s EID-EL-FITR with all sense of humility, humanity, love and patience.
