The Speaker of the House of Representatives Hon. Femi Gbajabiamila has felicitated with Muslims across the country on the occasion of the 2023 Eid-el-Fitr, marking the end of this year’s Ramadan.
He also congratulated the Muslim faithfuls for the successful completion of the 1444/2023 Ramadan, in which he said lessons must have been learnt.
Reflecting on the significance of the just concluded Ramadan fasting, the Speaker said Muslims should internalize the lessons and good habits that usually come with the religious practice.
He called on Muslims across the country to use the occasion of Eid-el-Fitr to pray for the country.
Hon Gbajabiamila noted that periods like this calls for sober reflection and unity from all citizens irrespective of their religious beliefs.
“Nigeria is the only country we can call ours, hence the citizens, especially Muslims at this time, must work together and pray assiduously dor continuous peaceful coexistence among the people.” Hon Gbajabiamila said.
He noted that one of the lessons learnt during the holy month of Ramadan was that of compassion and care for the needy.
He urged Muslims to continue to be their brother’s keeper as enjoined by Allah through the Holy Prophet Muhammad (SAW).
