President Muhammadu Buhari has urged Muslims in the country to exercise patience and tolerance and reject voices that seek to divide the nation.
He made the call in a message to mark the beginning of the Muslims’ holy month of Ramadan, which marks the commencement of 30 days of fasting.
The president prayed to Allah to accept the sacrifices of the people and increase the unity, solidarity, peace and prosperity of the nation.
He also urged all citizens to show compassion to the millions of the less endowed and remember those that had been displaced by conflict in their charity and prayers in the important period.
