Deputy President of the Senate, Ike Ekweremadu and front line contender for speakership of the House of Representatives, Rt. Hon. Umar Mohammed Bago, have called on the Muslim Ummah to keep praying for the nation and also sustain the virtues imbibed in at Ramadan beyond the holy month.
Ekweremadu, in his Eid-Al-Fitr message to the Muslim Ummah on Monday, said that continually praying for the peace, security, and progress of Nigeria and walking in the right direction would surely turn the fortunes of the country around.

“I congratulate the Muslim Ummah on their successful journey of faith, discipline, peace and love throughout the month of Ramadan. Going forward, I urge them to ensure that the great virtues of peace, love, forgiveness, sacrifice, and patriotism imbibed during the Ramadan Fast are felt in every aspect of our national lives beyond the holy month.

“I urge the Muslim Ummah and indeed all Nigerians to continually pray for the nation in the face of the worrisome security and daunting national challenges. I have no doubt that with prayers and the right attitudes and policies, Nigeria will emerge stronger from her present difficulties”, Ekweremadu said.

The Senator wished the Muslim faithful and the nation a happy Eid Al-Fitri celebration.

On his part, Hon. Bago, in a statement signed by the Spokesman of his campaign organization, Hon. Victor Afam Ogene in Abuja on Monday, rejoiced with the Islamic faithful for successfully completing the Ramadan.


He enjoined the Muslim faithful to remain steadfast on their trust in Almighty Allah, praying that Nigeria’s challenges would be surmounted.

He prayed that flowing from the sacrifices and piety associated with the fasting period, the nation’s security challenges would be effectively tackled.

“On behalf of my family and campaign team, I heartily congratulate all Nigerian Muslims for the successful completion of their Ramadan fast.



“No doubt, many prayers and supplications have been offered to Almighty Allah during this holy month on many personal and national issues, especially security challenges.

“It is our hope and expectations that the Faithful Allah has heard and will bless us and rescue our country, Nigeria.

“As we celebrate, I also urge us to remember the poor and the needy in our society.

“In like manner, I urge all Nigerians to pray for the successful inauguration of the incoming national assembly, as I solicit the mandate of my revered colleagues to become the Speaker of the House of Representatives.

“It is my singular promise that my colleagues, the 9th House and I will not fail Nigerians. We will deliver if elected the Speaker”, Bago said.

Transformers 3:16

Time for sallah

abeg shey fasting don end?

My neighbor killed only one chicken today....he said it's ''small salah''.
if he thinks i will not taste that fowl then that whole compound will not contain us....

It is high time we start working for Nigeria to be better instead of praying alone.

Nigeria's problem is bigger than prayer

Mad people in govt

Don't do the right this g and expect prayer to fix the country problems.

Where religion will lead us to hen

Even God will fold his arm and laugh at us.

No...you don't give us prayer points.

We'll pray that y'all corrupt politicians enriching yourselves, friends and families with tax payers money should die a painful death and in no distant time too.

Nigeria has no problems except greedy politicians that has been looting her treasury dry from the times of yore.

And may chukwu okike abiama answer our prayers......iseeee!!

Barka De Sallah

gtfoh!!

this guy is very wise

he is jejely collecting millions while asking poor people to be praying for Nigeria

monkey dey work baboon dey chop!!!!!

our problem is not that we don't pray, our problem is that we pray too much!!!!!!

Every festive period you will be seeing pray for Nigeria, live peacefully with your neighbor and all other trash from our politicians but they are not will to change for better..... Corrupt politicians

The ninth assembly Senate president and Speaker House. congrats on your elections

Nonsense. Science is the key, religion neva is. Prayers are waste of time

But sir we've been praying for 55years but no significant change....

If prayers could help a country, I don't think the while of Europe, China, India and the US will be able to stand at par with Nigeria considering the number of Mosques and churches in Nigeria.


Nigerias case has gone beyond prayers. Work is what is required now

Na we serve God pass for the whole world and we be been on reverse momentum for over 3 decades.

Let's ban religion and get to work.it has not helped the nation one bit, rather, it's dividing us and causing more havoc

Prayer isn't Nigerian problems. We hv prayed enough & God is tired of our problems cos we made them. What Nigeria really need is purposeful & intelligent leaders who can take us just one step forward. These politicians asking Muslims & Christians to pray for Nigeria hv run out of ideas, assuming they had any from the beginning.

Is Ekweremadu trying to islamize Nigeria?

They should pray why you guys steal abi? well i wonder how many years Dubai and Singapore had to pray tho
