The Senator Oluremi Tinubu Movement, has called for love and a peaceful coexistence among Nigerians during the month of Ramadan and beyond.
Mr. Ghazali A.A., a prominent official of the group made the call on Sunday, during an Iftar prayer held as one of their incessant pro societal program in promulgating the good agenda of Senator Oluremi Tinubu and to also pray for the the President-elect, Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu for his victory in the past election and Nigeria at large.
While speaking to the press during an interview, Mr. Ghazali explained that the Iftar day was organised to celebrate and host Muslims as they break their fast together while they pray for All Progressive Congress Leader, Asiwaju Tinubu, to have a successful administration during his tenure.
“Ramadan is a month in which our Muslim brothers and sisters observe their fast for either 29 or 30 days. Islamic scripture encouraged us that one of the good deeds in the holy months is to feed those that observe fast.
“On our platform, we do this every day during the period of Ramadan and we always have a grand finale which is always before the last ten 10 days of Ramadan because of other supplications.
“Today Sunday, 9th of April, 2023 happens to be that day to dine with our Muslim brothers and Sisters known as Iftar and most importantly use the opportunity to pray for our leader, Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu, to have a successful administration in the next four years,” he said.
When asked about the lesson learnt in the marching coincidence of Lent, Easter and Ramadan being observed at the same period in recent times Ghazali said, “The basic lesson to be learnt in all of this is natural love. We are meant to harmoniously live together and we shouldn’t allow anything to divide us.
“The truth is that no one would have hitherto, preempted that we will have our IFTAR day the same day of Easter but this is to let us know that God in his infinite mercy has created us to show love towards one another.”
Meanwhile, the cleric, Alhaji Bakare Abdullateef; the Imam of Eiyenkole Mosque, Lagos Island mentioned that the importance of Iftar like this is the reflection blessing in unity.
He urged everyone to be positive minded at all times while offering prayers for the president-elect, the Governor of Lagos state, citizens and the entire nation.
Imam encouraged that Nigerians should remain united and show love to one another as “God is one and we have to believe in the existence of only one God whether Christian or Muslim,” he added
Earlier in the day, the group visited some churches to celebrate Easter with Christians.
