By EMMANUEL KUJE, Abuja –
The 2033 Presidential candidate of the People’s Democratic Party (PDP), Atiku Abubakar has called on Nigerian leaders to show more compassion to the people.
Abubakar, a former Vice President of Nigeria, said this in his Eid-el-fitr message signed by his Media Office in Abuja on Tuesday.
He congratulated Muslim faithful on the successful completion of the Ramadan fast saying that the lessons from the fasting should remain abiding, even when the holy month had passed.
“For many Nigerians who observed the mandatory Ramadan fasting , the reality of the harsh economic environment in the country put many families and individuals under intense pressure.
“But in the face of this daunting challenge, many people pulled through out of seeking piety.
“The completion of Ramadan should cause a reflection on those in positions of authority to show more compassion to the people.
“The requirement of forbearance and compassion between the leaders and the people are the lessons to be learnt about this year’s Ramadan, in accordance with the teachings of noble Prophet Muhammad (PBUH),” he said.
He prayed that the supplications of every believing Muslim shall be answered by God, as he wished Nigerians a blessed Eid-el-fitr Holiday.
