Atiku Abubakar, a former vice president of Nigeria, has congratulated Muslims in the nation on successfully completing the required fasting during the holy month of Ramadan.
In a press release issued by his office on Tuesday, the former vice president stated that even after the holy month has passed, people should continue to follow the lessons learned from fasting during Ramadan.
The noble Prophet Muhammad (SAW) commanded us to live by the principle of forbearance, which Nigerian Muslims adopted during this year’s Ramadan fast, despite the fact that it was observed during a period of difficult economic conditions.
