Forgive Me If I Have Sinned – Tinubu Appeals To Nigerians As Ramadan Begins
As Muslims across the country begin the Ramadan fast, President Bola Tinubu has called on Nigerians to use the sacred period to strengthen bonds of unity, promote peace and recommit to moral values that uplift society. He spoke on Wednesday at a Ramadan Tafsir held at the State House Mosque in Abuja, where he described the holy month as a time for sober reflection, self-examination and renewed dedication to doing good. “We start this Ramadan with all the teaching that it brings to us all. But the main principle is to do good to people, to share love and faith, and to forgive sins. I say, if I have sinned, forgive me as Nigerians.” The President emphasized that Ramadan should inspire acts of kindness and reconciliation, encouraging citizens to extend compassion to one another and work collectively toward national progress. He further appealed to Nigerians of all religious backgrounds to pray for lasting peace in the country and support efforts to combat terrorism, banditry and other security concerns. Also speaking, Abdulwahid Suleiman, Chief Imam of the State House Mosque, thanked Allah for granting Muslims the opportunity to witness another Ramadan. He offered prayers for wisdom, strength and good health for the President and his team, while seeking peace, stability and prosperity for the nation.
