Atiku Urges Nigerians to Show Kindness and Pray for the Nation During Ramadan
Former Vice President Atiku Abubakar has urged Muslims in Nigeria to embrace the holy month of Ramadan as a time for charity, compassion, and fervent prayers for the nation’s advancement.
In a statement marking the onset of Ramadan, Atiku mentioned the significance of generosity, encouraging Nigerians to extend support beyond their immediate circles.
He emphasized that emulating the lifestyle of the Prophet Muhammad (SAW) reveals the profound benefits of being generous, especially during Ramadan.
Addressing the current economic challenges, Atiku called on all levels of government to implement measures that alleviate citizens’ hardships. He stressed the necessity for governments to provide palliatives that support the populace and improve living conditions.
Atiku also appealed to Nigerians to pray for the country’s peace and development, underscoring Ramadan as a period for spiritual reflection and national unity.
He urged everyone to remember Nigeria in their prayers and called on governments to offer the necessary support to ease the difficulties faced by Nigerians during and beyond the Ramadan fast.
Nigerian news analyst, Mahmud Jega, has shared his opinion on the recent airstrike carried out by the United States in Nigeria, stating that Nigerians should not blame President Bola Tinubu for the incident.
Jega made this statement during a recent interview, where he said he does not believe many people will hold the Tinubu administration responsible, as Donald Trump had issued threats against Nigeria long before Tinubu’s administration.
“No, I don’t think many people will blame the Tinubu administration for what is happening now because President Donald Trump, when he first made the threats, it was clearly not in coordination with the Tinubu administration or the government of Nigeria,” Jega said.
It has been reported that the United States carried out an airstrike targeting ISIS in the northwest region of Nigeria. The order was reportedly given by former U.S. President Donald Trump.
“Tonight, at my direction as Commander in Chief, the United States launched a powerful and deadly strike against ISIS terrorist elements in northwest Nigeria,” Trump said.
He added, “I have previously warned these terrorists that if they did not stop the slaughtering of Christians, there would be hell to pay, and tonight, there was.”
The Federal Government of Nigeria has officially declared the holiday dates for the festive season.
Thursday, December 25 will be observed as Christmas Day, December 26 as Boxing Day, and Thursday, January 1 as New Year’s Day.
The declaration was made by the Permanent Secretary of the Ministry of Interior, Dr. Magdalene Ajani. He also added that Nigerians should celebrate the holidays in faith and pray for the nation.
