Meanwhile, the president called on them to
use the opportunity to seek forgiveness and
get closer to Allah through Worship (Ibadah)
and good activities during the period.


The president in his message through his
spokesman Garba Shehu said “ the month of
Ramadan is a time of spiritual reawakening
which demanded not only abstention from
food and drinks, but also all wrongdoing in
their lives.”
Buhari said he was always wondered why
people search for making brisk profits by
hiking food prices as soon as the month of
Ramadan begins.

The leader of the nation asked Muslim
traders, businessmen and women, civil
servants and political office holders to use
the month of Ramadan to look for
forgiveness of God by abandoning wrong
practices for personal gains at the expense
of others.

“A religion should serve as a moral restraint
from bad practices, regretting that those
stealing national resources are merely paying
lip service to religion ,” the president stated.
He urged leaders and those holding positions
of trust to mainly remember that they would
be accountable one day.


“ Government is working towards bringing relief
to their lives through palliative measures and
faithful implementation of the 2016 national
budget,” Buhari added.
According to him, no elected administration
would deliberately want to make life difficult
for the people who gave it the mandate to
serve.

Sultan of Sokoto has declared yesterday that
June 6, Monday is the beginning of
Ramadan in Nigeria.
Ramadan is a period which serves as a
moment of deep personal worship in which
Muslims seek a richer perception of God. Naij
