“Ramadan is one of the most blessed month of the Islamic calendar. The APC hereby calls on Muslim Ummah to pray for Nigeria’s accelerated and shared prosperity, development and security, as they pray for wisdom for leaders and decision-makers at all levels of our social, political and economic life. We invite all faithful to remember and take care of the less-privileged among us.
“With the successful conclusion of the 2023 General Elections, and as the country gears up for transition from the President Muhammadu Buhari government to the incoming administration of President-Elect Bola Ahmed Tinubu, we urge all well-meaning Nigerians to remain peaceful and patriotic with renewed hope for a more just, secure, peaceful, equitable and prosperous Nigeria.
“We pray the Almighty Allah answers our prayers and enkindles in us the spirit of sacrifice, humility, mercy and kindness.
