Governor Akinwunmi Ambode on Monday called on Muslim faithful to see the Ramadan period as a time to promote the culture of tolerance and peaceful co-existence.

This is contained in a statement by his Chief Press Secretary, Mr. Habib Aruna and made available to the News Agency of Nigeria (NAN).

Ambode said that the commencement of Ramadan as a Holy month should be seen as an opportunity to learn self-restraint, sacrifice, piety and love.

He said this was in line with the admonition of the Holy Quran, Chapter 2 Verse 183, which says, “Fasting is prescribed for you as it was prescribed for those before you so that you can learn self-restraint (Piety)”.

Ambode, therefore, urged Muslims in the state to take the opportunity of the Holy month to promote a culture of religious tolerance and peaceful co-existence among people of diverse ethnicity.

At this critical period of rebuilding our nation and ensuring that the change we promised is delivered, the lessons of Ramadan must permeate all of our actions and deeds in such a way that each person must act as his brother’s keeper at all times,” he said.

He also wished all adherents of the Islamic faith a most spiritually rewarding Ramadan.
