Ramadan: Abdulsalami calls for peaceful coexistence among Nigerians

Former Nigerian Head of State, General Abdulsalam Abubakar, has reiterated the importance of peaceful coexistence among Nigerians irrespective of religious and cultural backgrounds in the country.

Abdulsalami stated this during the Ramadan lecture at his residence in Minna, Niger State.

The elder statesman also stressed the need for youth to respect the elders just as leaders should endeavour to build peace as well as ensure orderliness in the society.

He also called on the Muslim faithful to support one another during the Ramadan period in the areas of provisions for the less privileged in society to enhance their religious practices.

According to him: “I am urging all Muslims globally to enhance their religious practices by supporting one another, especially in terms of providing food and other provisions for their fellow Muslims and all the needy during and after the holy month of Ramadan.”
