Speaker of the House of Representatives Rt. Hon. Yakubu Dogara has urged Muslim faithfuls to use the Ramadan period to pray for Nigeria.
In a goodwil message to Muslims at the commencement of the Ramadan fast issued by his spokesman Turaki Hassan, Dogara said the present crop of leaders in Nigeria came in at a very critical time.
The Speaker said the promise of change by the new government can only be realised if Nigerians rededicate themselves to the service of God and humanity.
“I want to use this medium to call on our Muslim brothers and sisters to use the holy month of
Ramadan to pray for peace, unity and prosperity of Nigeria.
As mere mortals we cannot achieve anything of our own wisdom and strenght but with prayers, and determination, we can collectively overcome our challenges as a country.
