President Bola Tinubu has called on Nigerians to embrace unity, peace, and moral renewal as the holy month of Ramadan begins. He urged citizens of all faiths to support efforts toward national stability.

At the opening of this year’s Tafsir at the State House Mosque, President Tinubu observed that this year's Ramadan coincided with the Christian season of Lent, showing a reminder of shared values of sacrifice, discipline, prayer, and self-denial.

The President advocated abstinence from food and drink during the prayer period, stressing the need for kindness, forgiveness, good deeds, and love for humanity.

He called on Nigerians, irrespective of religious affiliation, to continue to pray for peace and to support ongoing efforts to tackle terrorism, banditry, and other security challenges.

The Chief Imam of the State House Mosque, Abdulwahid Suleiman, thanked Allah for granting the faithful the opportunity to witness another blessed month of Ramadan, the month in which the Holy Qur’an was revealed.

Imam Suleiman expressed gratitude to President Tinubu for his leadership and wished him a peaceful and successful Ramadan.

He prayed that Allah would forgive His servants during the sacred month and decree goodness for them throughout the year.

He further prayed for peace, stability, and improved well being for all Nigerians.
