Damagun urged all Nigerians to stand together as one and a nation to build trust, confidence, and respect for one another through reconciliation, forgiveness, and support to move forward.
“The teachings of Ramadan should always be with us. They should increase our fear of God and show pity to the less privileged and weak among us so that we can achieve our goals and continue to be blessed by Almighty God.
“Let’s not deviate from our old practices after Ramadan, but rather implored ways to sustain our worship and devotion, hoping for a great nation of political unity, cohesion, and progress away from political indifferences.
“We must forgive with sincerity of hope to one another in order to move ahead with committed efforts of building respect and dignity towards having a peaceful united Nigeria,” Damagun said.
