during the month of Ramadan adding that the period should also be used to
reflect on their faith and relations with their creator.
“ At this time of our history with many socio economic challenges, divisive tendencies in
the South East, economic disruptions of oil productions by the militants in the
Niger Delta, herdsmen attacks on farming communities and other vices, we should
all look up to the divine to intervene for positive change through prayer and
fasting encapsulated in the Ramadan” he stated. The senator called on all Muslims to continue to live in harmony with members of other
religious faiths as brothers and sisters stressing that Islam is a religion of
peace that abhors violence as a form of interaction with members of other
religious faiths.

Allah through the strict discipline and focus that the month long fasting
entails
