The First Lady, Mrs. Oluremi Tinubu, has urged Nigerians to show love and support for one another to help alleviate the country’s economic challenges.
During an Iftar hosted at the State House banquet hall in Abuja, which was attended by female members of the National Assembly, former first ladies, and other government officials, Mrs. Tinubu made the request.
She emphasised that the administration of President Bola Tinubu was working to improve the country’s economic situation and urged Nigerians to support each other. “Take one person at a time and lend a helping hand,” she said.
Mrs Tinubu noted that the coincidence of the Muslim Ramadan and Christian Lent this year was divinely ordained, encouraging both Muslim and Christian faithful to use the period for sober reflection and prayers for the nation.
“The Muslim ummah should continue in the virtues exhibited during Ramadan and always pray for God’s mercy,” she added.
Wife of the Vice President, Nana Shettima, commended Mrs Tinubu for hosting the event and urged Nigerians to remember the president and his cabinet in their prayers.
Following a lecture by Fatima Mukhtar, the vice chancellor of Azman University in Kano, on the spiritual meaning of Ramadan, prayers were said for the president and the country.
