Bola Ahmed Tinubu has called on Nigerians to forgive as Muslims across the country begin the holy month of Ramadan.
The President made the call during the holy month of Ramadan at the State House Mosque in Abuja on Wednesday, where he urged citizens to embrace peace, unity and compassion.
He described Ramadan as a time of deep reflection and moral renewal and stressed that forgiveness remains one of its core lessons.
“We start this Ramadan with all the teachings that Ramadan brings to us all. But the main principle is to do good to others, share love and faith, and forgive sins. I say if I have sinned, please forgive me as a Nigerian,” he said.
Tinubu encouraged Nigerians to use the fasting period to strengthen unity, be kind to each other and engage in charitable activities.
He believes that national progress depends on shared values and collective responsibility. He also called on citizens, regardless of religious affiliation, to pray for peace and stability in Nigeria, urging support for efforts to tackle terrorism, banditry and other security challenges.
In his speech, Chief Imam of the State House Mosque Abdulwahid Suleiman thanked God for enabling Muslims to witness another Ramadan and prayed for wisdom, strength and health of the President, as well as peace and prosperity of the country.
