President Tinubu Sends Heartfelt Greetings To Christians And Muslims Nationwide

The appeal was made in a statement released by his Special Adviser on Information and Strategy, Bayo Onanuga.

Tinubu urged believers to uphold the core values of their faiths and act honorably toward God and fellow humans.

The statement reads in part:

“With profound reverence to God Almighty, I extend greetings to Christian and Muslim faithful on the solemn occasions of Lent and Ramadan.
This year, Lent and Ramadan begin on the same day—a rare occurrence that reminds us of our shared values and unity as people of faith under God.
For Christians, the Lenten season is a period of fasting, abstinence, and penitence, following the example of Jesus Christ in the wilderness before His crucifixion, which brought salvation to humanity.
For Muslims, Ramadan is a sacred time emphasizing total submission to God through sacrifice, devotion, service, and communal generosity. It represents one of the five pillars of Islam and calls for deep spiritual reflection in obedience to Islamic teachings.
As a nation, I urge all citizens to embrace good neighbourliness, promote peace, unity, and stability, and pray for the nation’s progress and security.
Let us live by the noble principles of our faiths and honor our responsibilities to God and fellow humans. May the lessons, blessings, and joys of these sacred seasons remain with us always.”
