The ruling All Progressives Congress, APC, has come out to say that Muslims should use this year’s Ramadan to pray for Nigeria’s shared prosperity.

The National Secretary of the Caretaker Extraordinary Convention Planning Committee CECPC, Sen. John James Akpanudoedehe recently gave the charge in a statement issued Tuesday in Abuja.

According to him, every Nigerian Muslim should also use the opportunity to move closer to Allah, because only Him can show them the way.

He added that prayers for Nigeria’s development and security will come in very handy during this period as well.

It read, “As the Holy month of Ramadan which marks the commencement of 30 days of fasting begins today, the All Progressives Congress (APC) enjoin Muslim faithful to use the opportunity presented by the Holy month to come closer to the Almighty Allah.”

“Ramadan, the 9th month of the Islamic calendar is considered one of the most blessed, if not the holiest month in Islam. The APC hereby urges Muslims to pray for Nigeria’s shared prosperity, development and security. We should also pray for our leaders and remember to take care of the less-privileged around us.”

“We pray the Almighty Allah answer our prayers and imbue in us the spirit of sacrifice, humility, mercy and kindness.”
