TINUBU URGES LOVE AND CHARITY TO VULNERABLE 



President Bola Tinubu has urged Nigerians to embrace the spirit of Eid-el-Fitr by demonstrating greater love and compassion, particularly toward the vulnerable.

The president said this in an interview with journalists after the Eid-el-Fitr prayers marking the end of Ramadan at the Abuja National Eid Prayer Ground on Sunday.

The president urged Muslims not to return to the old and unacceptable paths but to remain steadfast in practicing the righteous virtues they had learned during Ramadan.

“We should continue the good deeds as taught during the Holy month of Ramadan: care for the vulnerable, the orphans and less privileged.

“Everything that we have observed, we should not revert to the path that is not acceptable to the teachings of this month,” the president said.

In his sermon, Abdulkadir Sholagberu, the chief imam of the National Mosque, Abuja, who led the prayers, reiterated the need for Muslims to continue in the spirit of Ramadan, which includes exhibiting a life of love, cooperation in righteousness, and care for the poor and vulnerable.

He stressed that it is imperative to continue in the life of worship, holiness, and obedience to Allah even after Ramadan.

“We must continue to cooperate in righteousness. During the fast, we showed love to one another; we cared for people in need, we extended charity, and our country was peaceful. Why should we return to rancour after Ramadan,” the imam further stated.

He urged the Muslim faithful to live in peace, harmony, and love of the country, devoid of discrimination.
