The Frontline aspirant for All Progressive Congress APC for Egor and Ikpoba-Okha of house of Representatives, Hon Pius Alile has urged all Muslims especially those in benin to offer special prayers during the period for greater peace and security in the nation.
In his Ramadan message, the Hon Alile also saluted all Muslims in Nigeria as they begin this year’s fast.
“He urges Benin people not to succumb to despair, but to remain steadfast in the firm conviction that with courage, determination, focus, decisiveness and collective support for the Armed Forces and security agencies, the country will ultimately overcome the evil agents of sectionalism, sectarianism and international terrorism who seek to disunite the nation.
“As they observe the Ramadan, Hon Pius Alile also calls on Muslims to rededicate themselves in fuller measure to the virtues of piety, self-discipline, tolerance, equity, honesty, fairness and sympathy for the less privileged which the Holy month promotes.
“Alile joins all people of faith in praying that God Almighty will grant Nigeria greater peace, security, unity and national harmony.
“He wishes the Muslim community a rewarding and spiritually gratifying Ramadan fast.”
