The Speaker, in a Sallah message through his Special Adviser on Media and Publicity, Musa Abdullahi Krishi, equally urged Muslims to internalise the lessons learnt from the Holy Month of Ramadan.
Expressing confidence that Almighty Allah has answered their prayers and supplication during the Holy Month, the Speaker said the Muslims and other Nigerian citizens should remain steadfast, determined, and patriotic for the nation to forge ahead.
He enjoined Muslims to be their brother’s keepers and render a helping hand at all times, noting that one of the lessons learnt from the Holy Month of Ramadan was that of assistance to the needy, which every Muslim should imbibe.
Speaker Abbas, while felicitating with Muslim faithful, urged them to continue to pray for Nigeria even after Ramadan is over, noting that a peaceful and prosperous nation equally needs prayers to sustain its blessings.
“We thank Allah (SWT) for making it possible for us to witness the Holy Month of Ramadan peacefully. We pray that He accepts all our acts of Ibadah. As we celebrate the Eid-el-Fitr, I enjoin Nigerians, especially Muslims, to offer prayers for the country and our leaders. Let’s also remain united as a people,” the Speaker said.
Similarly, Deputy Speaker of the House, Hon. Benjamin Kalu, has congratulated Muslim faithful across the country on the occasion of 2024 Eid-el-Fitr, marking the end of the Ramadan fast.
