The 2023 Presidential candidate of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), Alhaji Atiku Abubakar has called on Nigerian Muslims to use the holy month of Ramadan to seek spiritual guidance and sacrifice to the cause of peace.
The former vice president said this in a statement while welcoming Muslims in the country and the world at large to Ramadan.
Atiku’s statement reads: “It Is quite clear that the essential principles of this holy month are what is needed to heal our wounds, both as individuals and as a country. First is the importance of sacrifice not just to our families and the people around us but to the cause of peace.
“Secondly, is the requirement of piety from us all in the worship of God. I, therefore, enjoin all Muslims in Nigeria and the world over to use the benefits of this holy month of Ramadan to seek spiritual guidance, as I wish us a happy Ramadan fasting.”
