President Muhammadu Buhari has congratulated all Muslims as they commence this year’s Ramadan fast, “which is depicted by self-denial, universal brotherhood, austerity and helping relatives and needy people.”
The President in his statement said that the present situation is a challenging time for everyone as he urged Muslim during the Ramadan period to know that the kind of socializing they are used to now risks spreading the Coronavirus.
Buhari said, “Virtually all countries are advising citizens to avoid large gatherings and have their prayers and meals individually or with family at home. We must all refrain from usual Ramadan traditions such as group meals and congregational prayers, because of the Coronavirus.”
“But the pandemic must also not be used as an excuse not to participate in the Ramadan fast, unless such abstention is warranted by the exemptions clearly laid out by health and religious authorities, he added.
The President also wish all Muslims in Nigeria and the world over all the blessings of the holy month.
