By Deji Elumoye

Vice President Yemi Osinbajo has called on Nigerian Muslim faithful to rededicate themselves to higher virtues of kindness, love, and generosity towards each other, regardless of faith or ethnicity.

Speaking to newsmen on Wednesday after the Federal Executive Council (FEC) meeting which he presided over at the State House, Abuja, Osinbajo said “I would like to express special greetings to our Muslim brothers and sisters who have begun the Ramadan fast.”

According to him, the Ramadan is not merely a season of abstinence from food, drink, and worldly pleasures, “it is a time of rededication to the higher values and virtues of love, kindness, generosity, and consideration for others regardless of faith or ethnicity.”
The Vice President added that “in particular for our nation, we must recommit ourselves now and in the future to the advancement of the unity, brotherhood, and peace in Nigeria.”
