The Senate President, Bukola Saraki has asked Muslim faithful to sustain the values and virtues which the holy month of Ramadan has taught them.
This was contained in a statement by his Special Adviser on Media and Publicity, Mr Yusuph Olaniyonu in commemoration of the 2016 Eid-el-Fitri.
Senator Saraki also asked all Nigerians to remain steadfast and prayerful in the face of daunting socio-economic challenges.
He stated that the country can only regain its lost glory when the citizenry uphold the virtues of good neighborliness and eschew intolerance of other people’s opinion, corruption, abuse of power, disregard for due process and disobedience to the laws of the land.
The Senate President also asked Boko Haram insurgents and other agents of destabilization across the country to retrace their steps and give peace a chance in the spirit of the Eid-el-fitri.
Senator Saraki further stated that Nigerians who nurse one grudge or the other against the state should seek for legitimate and peaceful means of expressing their grievances.
