As we mark the end of Ramadan, I want to seize this opportunity to
felicitate with my Muslim brothers and sisters and the Islamic ummah for
successfully accomplishing one of the acts that comprise the Five Pillars of
Islam, fasting. From close encounters with the leading lights of the ummah
during this season, I observed firsthand the piety and increased spirituality
that the Ramadan fast inspired in believers and I am most delighted that the
lessons and discipline attained from the exercise would be of immense benefit to
our nation. I thank you all for your prayers and intercession for Nigeria and I
urge all Nigerians to draw lessons from the glorious Ramadan that will stay with
us all year long until, God willing, we meet again for Ramadan in 2014. Ramadan
Kareem. GEJ
