Press statement from the presidency below...
President Muhammadu Buhari has called on Nigerians to pray for the
return of peace, love and prosperity throughout the country as Muslims
start the 2015 Ramadan fast.
In a congratulatory message released on his behalf by the Senior Special
Assistant (Media and Publicity), Garba Shehu, President Buhari implored
Muslims to seek maximum benefits from the Ramadan period "by being
helpful to all manner of people, learning and following the true message
of the religion as taught by the Holy Prophet."
The President in his message directed an appeal to the perpetrators of
violence and destruction in the name of Islam all over the world to
desist from tarnishing the name of the religion.
"As we make collective efforts to bring to a permanent end the menace of
the Boko Haram in the Lake Chad basin countries, let me use this
auspicious occasion to appeal to our misguided brothers to drop their
arms, embrace peace and seek a better understanding of Islam during this
Holy period and beyond," Buhari said.
The President prayed to Allah to bring peace and harmony to all parts of the country and the world at large.
"I wish all our citizens a blessed Ramadan. Ramadan Kareem Mubarak," the statement concluded.
