Ramadan is upon us and as we observe the fast
and abstinence that are the hallmark of this holy
month, I join my Muslim brothers and sisters in
reflection and thought for the less privilege in
society. Prophet Mohammed (SAW) in the Qur'an
encouraged humanity to use this period of
increased piety to engage in deep introspection
to the end that we may increase our capacity to
empathize with others. It is this ideal that must
continue to drive us in our in our mission to
ensure and secure equity and justice in our
nation. I urge the Islamic Ummah to pray to
Almighty Allah our creator so that our efforts at
ensuring peace and security throughout Nigeria
meet with consistent and continuous success.
May Almighty God receive and answer all our
prayers. GEJ
