Deputy Senate President Barau Jibrin has urged Muslims to sustain the lessons of Ramadan and pray for global peace as they celebrate Eid-el-Fitr. In a statement, Jibrin commended President Bola Tinubu’s efforts to stabilize Nigeria’s economy and tackle insecurity.
Jibrin highlighted Tinubu’s directive for security chiefs to relocate to Maiduguri, aiming to flush out criminal elements and restore peace in the region. This move is seen as a significant step towards addressing the country’s security challenges.
The deputy senate president disbursed N157 million to constituents in Kano North Senatorial District, aiming to support residents during the Eid-el-Fitr celebrations. He also distributed over 60,000 bags of food items across Kano North and other parts of the state.
Jibrin emphasized the importance of unity, tolerance, and support for the needy, saying, “Let’s spread love and help people in need during and after the festive period.” He urged Muslims to reflect on the values of Ramadan and apply them in their daily lives.
The Sultanate Council declared March 20 as the first day of Shawwal 1447 AH, marking Ramadan’s end. This declaration was made in line with Islamic traditions and marked the beginning of Eid-el-Fitr celebrations across Nigeria.
Jibrin’s message reflects Nigeria’s commitment to peaceful coexistence amid economic challenges and insecurity concerns. The country’s leaders are working to address these challenges and promote national unity.
The deputy senate president’s gesture has been welcomed by residents of Kano North Senatorial District, who expressed gratitude for his support. Many have praised Jibrin’s efforts to promote unity and peaceful coexistence.
As Muslims celebrate Eid-el-Fitr, Jibrin’s message serves as a reminder of the importance of compassion, forgiveness, and unity. The occasion is a time for joy, reflection, and renewal, with Muslims looking to the values of Ramadan to guide their actions.
The Eid-el-Fitr celebrations are expected to bring together Muslims from across Nigeria, promoting unity and solidarity. Jibrin’s message is a call to action for all Nigerians to work towards a brighter future.
