Bola Ahmed Tinubu has appealed to Nigerians for forgiveness as Muslims across the country begin the holy month of Ramadan.
The President made the appeal on Wednesday during a Ramadan Tafsir at the State House Mosque in Abuja, where he urged citizens to embrace peace, unity, and compassion.
He described Ramadan as a period for deep reflection and moral renewal, stressing that forgiveness remains one of its central lessons.
“We start this Ramadan with all the teaching that it brings to us all. But the main principle is to do good to people, to share love and faith, and to forgive sins. I say, if I have sinned, forgive me as Nigerians,” he said.
Tinubu encouraged Nigerians to use the fasting period to strengthen unity, show kindness to one another, and engage in acts of charity.
According to him, national progress depends on shared values and collective responsibility. He also called on citizens, regardless of religion, to pray for peace and stability in Nigeria, urging support for efforts to tackle terrorism, banditry, and other security challenges.
In his remarks, the Chief Imam of the State House Mosque, Abdulwahid Suleiman, thanked Allah for allowing Muslims to witness another Ramadan and prayed for wisdom, strength, and good health for the President, as well as peace and prosperity for the nation.
