She noted that prayers, compassion, and acts of kindness should strengthen faith and improve relationships with others.

Similarly, in her Ramadan message, Senator Tinubu congratulated Muslim faithful on the commencement of the holy month, praying for peace, joy, and spiritual fulfilment for families and the nation at large.

She encouraged Muslims to remember Nigeria in prayers throughout the fasting period, asking Almighty Allah to accept their supplications, forgive sins and answer prayers.

“I felicitate with the Muslim faithful as you commence this blessed month of Ramadan. I pray this Holy month bring you and your family and the nation as a whole, peace, joy, and spiritual fulfilment,” she stated.

The First Lady concluded both messages by wishing Nigerians a blessed Lenten season and a fruitful Ramadan, while praying for unity and national progress.
