greetings to all Nigerian Muslims and our brother Christians on the occasion of
Eid-el-Fitr.
“May the lessons of Ramadan
namely; piety, self-denial, prayers and generosity to the poor and needy be
with us for all time.
“I, again, appeal to all
Nigerians to avoid reckless statements or actions against our fellow
countrymen. We should all resolve to live in peace and unity in our great
country, which is the envy of many less endowed nations.
