Former Lagos State governor, Bola Ahmed Tinubu, on Monday urged
Muslim faithfuls to imbibe the lessons learnt during the holy month of
Ramadan.
The former governor made the call in his Sallah message to Muslims in the country.
He urged them to continue to pray for unity of the country.
He said, “We must not give up on Nigeria particularly in the face of
our current security and political challenges. We shall overcome if we
all remain steadfast in our patriotism and prayers.
“We must at all times imbibe the spirit of unity, no matter our
religious or political affiliation or ethnic grouping. Nigeria belongs
to us all and all must come together to defend our togetherness.
“Those that insist that they are more patriotic than other Nigerians
because of different political or religious affiliations must desist.
They do this country great harm by seeking to exploit our present
circumstances to gain political space and advantage.
“At the end of it all, no one is greater than Nigeria as we will
guide our unity with a singularity of purpose and superiority of vision.
“I call on all well-meaning Nigerians of all faiths to seek the face
of God at this most trying of times. Insurgency is an unwanted and
dangerous guest in our midst; we must be resolute and consistent in
confronting it. We can only do this with a united front.”
