“Nigeria is confronted with challenges at the moment, this is why as citizens, we should pray to our creator for solutions even as leaders try their best to address the issues,” he said.


Gbajabiamila congratulated Nigerian Muslims on the successful completion of fasting in the Holy Month of Ramadan, praying that Allah would accept their acts of ibadah during the period.


He urged Muslims to internalise the lessons learnt during the month of Ramadan for a better society.


He said the Islamic religion emphasised peace, which was why every Muslim must be peaceful in his conducts wherever he find himself.
