A former Vice President of Nigeria, Atiku Abubakar, has advised Nigerians on their obligations to God and one another as the 2025 Ramadan commences.
The presidential candidate of the Peoples Democratic Party in the 2023 elections, gave the admonition in a statement on Friday.
The statement, which Abubakar personally signed, said: “Following the announcement of the moon sighting by the President of the Supreme Council of Islamic Affairs, marking the beginning of the holy month of Ramadan tomorrow, we are once again reminded of our obligations to God and to one another.
“It is important that in Ramadan, we extend our hands of charity and affection far beyond our immediate families. The lifestyle of noble Prophet Muhammed (SAW) should be our guide, as he taught us the immense benefits of being generous, especially during the month of Ramadan.

“I therefore urge that we remember Nigeria in our prayers and urge governments at all levels to provide the necessary succour that will ease the pains in the lives of Nigerians during the Ramadan fasting and beyond.
:Nigerians are passing through harsh economic situations, and it is necessary that governments provide palliatives to support the people to alleviate their living conditions.”
