President Muhammadu Buhari has sent best wishes to Muslims as they commence 30 days of Ramadan fasting, urging that they use the season to project the best and finest virtues of Islam by personal conduct, and not precept.
In a goodwill message to mark the beginning of the holy month of Ramadan, issued by his spokesman, Garba Shehu, in Abuja, Buhari said Ramadan is characterised by abstention from food and drinks from dawn to dusk, which brings both the rich and poor to share the experience of hunger together, thereby strengthening the bonds between haves and have-nots.
The president frowned at the way and manner some traders artificially increase the prices of their goods during the month of Ramadan.
The president challenged wealthy individuals and organisations to always share food and drinks with the less fortunate members in the society.
