Senator Almakura, through this media aide, Mr Danjuma Joseph, said
“For the past thirty (30) days, Muslims the world over have observed the fasting in the sacred month of Ramadan in compliance with the Islamic injunction.
“As we come to the end of this year’s Ramadan fasting, I, felicitate with all Muslim faithful as we join millions of Nigerians and other brethren across the globe to mark the 2022 Eid-el-Fitr (Sallah) celebration.
“As you are all aware, fasting in the month of Ramadan is one of the five pillars of Islam aimed at strengthening our
faith through spiritual engagements such as abstinence from eating, drinking and satisfying other desires from dawn to sunset.
“It also involves intense prayers, recitation and interpretation of the Holy Qur’an, as well as increased acts of kindness, charity and humility, among other moral virtues.
Senator Al-Makura, called on all Muslims to be steadfast in applying the virtues of Ramadan through supplication,
perseverance, humility, hospitality and good neighbourliness.
