The National President of the Al-Mushahid Initiative for Transparency and Accountability (AITA), Ambassador Aminu Majidadi, has called on Nigerian Muslims to uphold the true essence of Ramadan as the holy month begins this March.
In a statement, Majidadi reminded the Muslim ummah that Ramadan is a sacred period dedicated to spiritual renewal, self-discipline, and acts of kindness. He urged the faithful to use this time to deepen their devotion to Allah, strengthen their moral conduct, and foster unity within the society.
“Ramadan is not merely a month of fasting; it is a divine opportunity for self-purification, spiritual growth, and strengthening our commitment to righteousness. It is a period to practice patience, charity, and increased devotion to Allah,” he said.
The AITA President also emphasized the importance of prayers for national peace, stability, and development. He encouraged Muslims to intercede for the country, particularly in these challenging times, stressing that Nigeria needs divine intervention to overcome its socio-economic and security challenges.
“As we observe Ramadan, let us pray fervently for peace, unity, and progress in our nation. It is imperative that we reflect on our responsibilities as citizens and contribute positively to national development,” he added.
Majidadi further urged political and religious leaders to demonstrate sincerity and compassion in governance, reminding them of their duty to serve the people with justice and fairness. He cautioned against actions that undermine national unity and called for greater efforts in fostering an inclusive society.
He reiterated AITA’s commitment to promoting transparency, accountability, and good governance, adding that Ramadan presents an opportunity for both leaders and citizens to embrace integrity in all aspects of life.
“As a nation, we must embrace the virtues of honesty, justice, and selflessness, which are core teachings of Islam. The lessons of Ramadan should inspire us to build a better society where truth and accountability prevail,” he concluded.
