The Nigerian Southern Senators’ Forum (NSSF) on Tuesday urged Muslim faithful and Nigerians in general to stand together in solidarity against all forms of divisiveness.
The Chairman of the forum, Sen. Adetokunbo Abiru gave the charge in a statement to felicitate the Muslim faithful on the successful completion of Ramadan fast and the commemoration of Eid-fitr.
Abiru said that the month of Ramadan was significant to all Muslims as one of the important pillars of Islam..
The senator said that the Almighty Allah enjoined them to ask for His blessings during this period.
He, therefore, called on Muslims and all Nigerians to pray for peace and ensure peaceful co-existence, as admonished in the holy Scriptures.
”Fellow compatriots, on behalf of the Nigerian Southern Senators’ Forum, we extend our warmest greetings to all Nigerians, particularly our Muslim brothers and sisters on the successful completion of Ramadan fast and the commemoration of Eid-fitr.
”We enjoin all Muslims to seek the face of Almighty Allah on the many challenges facing our dear nation.
”Our dear nation is passing through a phase in history that requires the cooperation and understanding of all well-meaning citizens.
”The raft of reforms and policy decisions of the administration of President Bola Tinubu, and the proactiveness of the National Assembly, under the dynamic leadership of His Excellency, Sen. Godswill Akpabio, in championing laws that will ensure socio-economic stability, growth and development, are all geared towards restoring our dear nation on the path of progress,” Abiru said.
