President Bola Ahmed Tinubu has called on Muslims and Christians in the country to join hands and pray for peace, unity, stability and security of the country.
In his message to Christians and Muslims on the season of Lent and Ramadan, the President urged adherents to be honourable in their duty to God and fellow humans.
The President who personally signed the message, said the two seasons coming at the same day reminds us that as a people of faith, “we share a lot in common and are one people under God.”
He said, “As a nation and as a people, I urge us, as we embark on these important observances, to ensure good neighbourliness, promote peace, unity, and stability, and pray for the progress and security of our nation.

“Let us live by the good precepts of our faiths and be honourable in our duty to God and fellow humans, and prayed that the lessons, blessings, and joys of these sacred seasons abide with us always.”
While greeting Christians and Muslims faithful on the solemn occasions of Lent and Ramadan, the President said, “This year, Lent and Ramadan begin on the same day. This is not a common occurrence, and it reminds us that as a people of faith, we share a lot in common and are one people under God.
“For Christians, the Lenten season is a time for fasting, abstinence, and penitence, following Jesus Christ’s example in the wilderness before His crucifixion, which brought salvation to mankind.
“For Muslims, Ramadan is a hallowed season that reflects total submission to God Almighty and His command of sacrifice, devotion, service, and communal love and giving. It marks one of the five pillars of Islam.
“Beyond the obligatory fasting, Ramadan calls for deep spiritual reflection in obedience to Islam’s injunctions.”
