Tinubu Urges Unity Among Christians and Muslims in Nigeria

On Tuesday, President Bola Ahmed Tinubu released a goodwill message to Nigerian Christians and Muslims, coinciding with the commencement of the Lenten and Ramadan seasons. He urged Nigerians to embrace unity and peace, reflecting on the significance of these sacred periods.

Tinubu noted the rare occurrence of both seasons starting simultaneously this year, serving as a reminder of shared values that bind people of different faiths together. He encouraged citizens to use this time to deepen their devotion to God and promote good neighborliness for national progress and stability.

The President described Lent as a season of fasting, repentance, and sacrifice for Christians, while Ramadan represents total submission to God and charity for Muslims. He called on Nigerians to uphold moral teachings, respect religious differences, and remain committed to peaceful coexistence.
