I joined Her Excellency, the First Lady of the Federal Republic of Nigeria, Senator Oluremi Tinubu, at the Interfaith Breaking of Fast (Iftar and Lent) gathering held at the Banquet Hall of the Presidential Villa,Abuja this Thursday.
Also present at the well-attended event were members of the female Federal Executive Council, female Heads of Agencies and Extra-Ministerial Departments, as well as critical stakeholders of our great party, the All Progressives Congress (APC).
This thoughtful initiative by Her Excellency reflects her deep commitment to fostering unity, peace, and mutual respect among Nigerians of different faiths.
By bringing together Muslims observing Ramadan and Christians observing Lent in one gathering of prayer and reflection, she continues to demonstrate the power of faith, dialogue, and shared values in strengthening national cohesion.
Through her visionary leadership and the platform of the Renewed Hope Initiative, the First Lady continues to champion programmes aimed at promoting compassion, social inclusion, and national unity.
The initiative seeks to uplift communities, support vulnerable groups, and encourage collective participation in building a better Nigeria for all.
The interfaith gathering therefore stands as a strong symbol of harmony and inclusiveness, reminding us that despite our religious differences, we share common values of sacrifice, charity, passion, love for humanity, and commitment to the progress of our nation.
It is a commendable step towards fostering understanding and strengthening the bonds that unite us as Nigerians. Let us deliberately for Nigeria during this fast.
Thank you, Mother of the Nation, for your leadership and initiative.
Signed:
Dr. Betta Edu
