Deputy President of the Senate, Senator Barau I. Jibrin, has rejoiced with Muslims in the country on the successful completion of this year’s Ramadan Fast, urging them to carry forward the lessons of the blessed month.
Senator Barau, in a statement by his special adviser on media and publicity, Ismail Mudashir, prayed to Allah SWT to accept supplications, prayers and the good deeds of the Ummah during the blessed Month.
Barau, the first deputy speaker of the ECOWAS Parliament, urged everyone to sustain the lessons of the Holy Month and always reflect on them in their daily activities.
He urged all citizens to continue praying for the country and to lend their full support to President Bola Ahmed Tinubu as he addresses the nation’s challenges.
He reiterated the National Assembly’s commitment to enacting necessary legislation to support the President’s efforts.
He expressed optimism that the newly established regional development commissions in North West, North Central, South East, South West, and South-South will significantly contribute to developing the country’s regions.
President Tinubu recently assented to bills passed by the National Assembly to establish these five regional commissions (Senator Barau sponsored the bill for the North West Development Commission) to address the country’s developmental challenges.
“I extend my heartfelt congratulations to my fellow Muslims across the country and all Nigerians as we celebrate this year’s Eid-el-Fitr, marking the end of the Ramadan Fast. May Allah SWT accept our prayers, supplications and good deeds during this blessed month.
“In the spirit of the season, let us reach out to the needy and the poor, both during and after the festivities. Let us continue to pray for our country and for President Bola Ahmed Tinubu to succeed in positively transforming our country. Regardless of our differences, let us unite and practice tolerance by living peacefully with one another,” he said.
