The former Vice President, Atiku Abubakar on Wednesday congratulated the Muslim faithful on the Eid-el-Fitr celebration, which marks the end of the holy month of Ramadan fasting period.
In his congratulatory Sallah message posted on his official X account, Atiku called on fellow Muslims and those in positions of authority to use the occasion to reflect on the virtues of compassion and forbearance, which, according to him, are the lessons learned from this year’s Ramadan.
Atiku said: “The completion of Ramadan should cause a reflection on those in positions of authority to show more compassion to the people.
“The requirement of forbearance and compassion between the leaders and the people are the lessons to be learnt about this year’s Ramadan, in accordance with the teachings of noble Prophet Muhammad (SAW). -AA”
