Mr Peter Obi
BY SUNNY A. DAVID
Frontline Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) Presidential aspirant for the 2023 election, Mr. Peter Obi, has felicitated with Nigerian Muslims on the successful commencement of this year’s Ramadan fasting.
In a statement on Saturday by his Media Office and signed by his Special Adviser, Mr. Valentine Obienyem described the Holy Month of Ramadan as one that is usually eagerly anticipated by Muslims as the Ramadan fast is one of the five pillars of Islam.
“It is a month that requires a lot of sacrifices, including total abstinence from indulgences, but it is also a month that brings with it a lot of blessings,” Mr. Obi noted.
The former Anambra State Governor urged privileged Muslims “to use the opportunity offered by the Holy Month of Ramadan to help the needy” while also appealing to traders “to resist the temptation to hike prices of foodstuffs, as this would compound the problems of the suffering masses.”
He wished all Nigerian Muslims a happy and Ramadan while urging them “to use this Holy Month to intensify prayers for workable solutions to Nigeria’s myriad problems.”
