In a sallah message released and signed by Sen. Bukar Abba Ibrahim(CON) Former Governor Of Yobe State, Chairman, APC Former Governors Forum and High Chief Sunnie Chukumele, Publicity Secretary of APC Former Governors Forum.
According to the statement, the practice of waiting, self denial, prayers which is the hallmark of fasting, is one of the cardinal templates of sacrifice and commitment to the principles of Islam.
In addition to the above, the forgiveness and reconciliation tenets of the fasting period, which cut across all tribes in Nigeria, where muslim umma are, reminds us of our oneness and togetherness as a nation. It is therefore an opportunity for us to appreciate and celebrate with one another, as a people bounded in love and unity.
I equally use this opportunity to call on the political class to play politics without bitterness and rancour. To all Nigerians, I further admonish us all to continue to embrace and promote fundamental principles of care and joy to all, that the conclusion of Ramadan equally symbolize. The statement reads.
May the blessing of Allah fill the life of Nigerians with peace , joy and good health. Happy Eid ul Fitr. The All Progressives Congress, APC Former Governors Forum Chairman, Prays.
