APC urges Muslims to pray for peace during Ramadan
The All Progressives Congress in Osun has urged Muslims to
use the Ramadan as a period of reflection and pray for peace to
reign in Nigeria.
This is contained in a statement signed by Mr. Kunle Oyatomi,
the party’s Director of Publicity, Strategy and Research on
Saturday in Osogbo.
The statement urged Muslims to pray for political sanity to pre-
occupy the hearts of politicians, especially those who are
desperate for political power.
“As a religion that promotes and preaches peace and brotherly
relationship, true Muslims should be in the vanguard of
peaceful co-existence in the society.
“At this period of great challenges facing Nigeria and the
political class, fasting and praying for divine intervention is a
great necessity.
“Let us use this period as effectively as we can to pray for
sanity and peace to reign supreme before, during and after the
election scheduled for Aug. 9 in the state and general elections
in 2015,” it added.
Dr. Bukola Saraki, the Chairman, Senate Committee on
Environment and Ecology, urged Muslims to use the
opportunity of Ramadan to pray for the restoration of peace in
the country.
Saraki, who stated this in a statement on Saturday in llorin,
urged Muslims to pray for a terror-free Nigeria.
“I give thanks to Almighty Allah for keeping us alive and
healthy to witness and partake in another Month of Ramadan;
the month of forgiveness, mercy and abundant blessings.
“I urge the Muslims to use the opportunity of this month’s
divinity to get closer to Almighty Allah and wish them a
successful Month of Holiness,” he said.
