Ramadan: Media Watch Group urges piety and renewed faith
The Muslim Media Watch Group of Nigeria has charged Muslims in the leadership of Nigeria at all levels, to use the period of the Holy Month of Ramadan that started today to renew their faith in God and govern with absolute fear of Almighty Allah.
In its Ramadan Message released today, the group said this year’s Ramadan has come in the most trying period for citizens of Nigeria irrespective of religious background and affiliation.
It therefore called on the Nation’s Leadership at Federal, States and Local Governments levels to reflect on the present worsening condition of the people socially and economically and change some of their policies so that the people could live under a better condition.
The statement jointly signed by the National Coordinator of the Group Alhaji Ibrahim Abdullahi and the National Secretary Dr. Nasir Balogun, specifically appealed to President Bola Ahmed Tinubu, the Ministers, all the State Governors and the National Assembly members to reflect on the present economic situation of Nigerians and resolve to alleviate the sufferings of the people beyond palliative distributions.
This according to the group, could be done by evolving strategies that would force-down prices of food items, goods and useful materials, reduction in the amount paid for fuel purchase, implementation of new minimum wage being deliberated upon and evolving enhanced pension pay-packages for the senior citizens to mention a few.
The group maintained that if current hardship continues in the holy month of Ramadan, it would surely have negative impact on the people.
The Muslim Media Watch Group also called for aggressive posture on the part of Federal and State Givernments to fight corruption – calling for prosecution of all those indicted in the immediate past administration and current leadership too.
The Group called on all muslims to intensify their prayers for the Nigerin leadership for Allah’s guidance and protection for them so that they could fashion-out better-deal for all Nigerians.
On insecurity, the Media Group decried the upsurge in insecurity all over the Northern parts of the country especially in Kaduna, Borno and Sokoto States; warning on the likehood of the ill spreading to other parts of the country.
It finally called on President Bola Tinubu to do the needful if the ugly trend continues, as the current Defence and Security Chiefs must account for the hundreds of kidnapped students, women and children across the country.
