A former governorship aspirant on the platform of the All Progressives Congress in Kwara State, Mallam Saliu Mustapha has urged Muslim faithful to let the lessons, virtues and values of Ramadan fast continue to reflect in their dealings.
Mallam Saliu Mustapha in a statement issued to newsmen in Ilorin through his media aide, congratulated Muslims on the successful completion of Ramadan fast and on the celebration of Eid-el-fitril.
The Chieftain of the All Progressives Congress urged them to use the lessons of sacrifice, piety and forgiveness learnt during Ramadan period to better the society.
He stressed the need for Muslims not to wait till another Ramadan before giving alms to the less privileged in the society and assisting the needy, pointing out that Almighty Allah values alms giving and there is always appropriate reward for such act.
Mallam Saliu Mustapha also used the occasion to charge Nigerians to be more united, focused and work collectively for the progress of the country.
According to him, the security challenges bedeviling the nation are surmountable if Nigerians are united, prayerful and work together to eradicate social vices breeding insecurity.
Mallam Saliu Mustapha, therefore, appealed to Nigerians to pray fervently for the leaders in order to seek Allah’s guidance and wisdom for them in discharging their constitutional responsibilities.
