Speaker of the House of Representatives, Hon Aminu Waziri Tambuwal, has urged Nigerians to promote attributes that unite the country, rather than laying emphasis on seemingly divisive tendencies among the various ethnic and religious groups in the country.
In a message to commemorate this year's Eid-el-fitr sallahcelebration issued by his Special Adviser on Media and Public Affairs, Malam Imam Imam, Tambuwal appealed to leaders at all levels to close ranks and work for the unity and progress of the nation.
He said the devotion and sacrifices made by Muslims in the last 30 days should be replicated in our every day lives, adding that the month-long period of self-restraint should serve as reminder of our commitment to our Fatherland and humanity.
"The same way we all remembered the less fortunate and those afflicted by poverty and disease during Ramadan, I implore us to carry over those attributes to our engagements after Ramadan. Only by so doing can we truly say we have imbibed the teachings of the Holy month into our every day lives," the Speaker stated.
While congratulating Nigerians, especially Muslims, for witnessing this year's Eid-el-fitr, the Speaker said the House of Representatives will at all times strive for the unity, peace and development of the country.
