The Senator-elect for Akwa Ibom North West Senatorial District, Senator Godswill Akpabio, has charged Muslim faithful in Nigeria and in the Diaspora to practise lessons learnt during the Ramadan fast.
The lessons, according to him, are forgiveness, giving to the poor and the needy and peaceful coexistence with one another.
Akpabio’s Ramadan message was contained in a press release by his Chief Press Secretary, Mr Jackson Udom and made available to journalists.
According to the former Minister of Niger Delta Affairs, “Let me use this opportunity to congratulate all the Muslim Ummah on the successful completion of this year’s Ramadan. I pray that may all the requests placed before almighty Allah by our Muslim brothers and sisters during this period of fast and supplications be answered by almighty Allah.
‘‘I pray that the peace of God that passes human understanding be bestowed upon our country, as a result of our sacrifices during the Ramadan. Let us also remember those in need as we celebrate and pray for the stability of our dear nation,” the former Senate Minority pleaded.
