Extend Acts of Charity, Tolerance Beyond Sallah; Wike Charges Residents

By: Wisdom Acka

FCT Minister, Nyesom Wike, has urged residents of the Federal Capital Territory not to limit acts of charity, love, and tolerance as exemplified during the holy month of Ramadan, but be practiced and inculcated into our daily lives.

Accordingly , the end of Ramadan should also not signal an end to our prayers.

This charge was contained in the Minister’s Sallah message to FCT residents made available to the media, Wednesday.

He enjoined all residents to continue to offer supplications to the Almighty for our dear country Nigeria and her leaders for divine wisdom and guidance, especially as they work ceaselessly to overcome our current challenges.

Wike, who congratulated the residents, especially the Muslim Ummah for successfully completing this religious obligation, prayed that the supplications made to Almighty Allah would be answered.

His words: “This auspicious festival not only marks the end of a month-long period of fasting, prayer, and reflection, it also serves as a profound reminder of the values of compassion, generosity, and unity that lie at the heart of Islam.”

“During Ramadan, we witnessed the spirit of self-discipline, compassion, and unity that defines this sacred month. It is a time when we come together in solidarity, sharing meals, breaking fasts, and supporting one another in acts of charity and kindness,” he said.

“Fellow residents of the FCT, this spirit of unity and togetherness that characterizes the nation’s capital is not only integral to the observance of Ramadan but also resonates deeply with the values of harmony and cohesion that the Federal Capital Territory stands for,” Wike added.

The Minister reiterated his call for all residents and indeed, Nigerians to find strength and unity in the country’s diversity and work for the development of the Territory and country.

He solicted support of Nigerians for President Bola Tinubu, imploying them to imbibe his Renewed Hope Agenda message; saying it “prioritizes the well-being and prosperity of all Nigerians.”
