A former vice president, Atiku Abubakar has admonished
leaders at all levels to prioritise the wellbeing of Nigerians.
Abubakar made the plea in a statement by his Media
Adviser, Paul Ibe on Sunday in Abuja.
He also urged leaders to lead in the fear of God.
“While the Ramadan season encouraged charity to the
less privileged, it becomes imperative on leaders to make sure that after
Ramadan, governments initiate interventions that will ensure that wellbeing and
welfare of the people are sustained.
“It is important to call the attention of those in
positions of authority to the practices of the Noble Prophet Muhammad (SAW)
that teaches about obligations of leadership to the people.
“It is not enough that the government will ask that
the people should brace themselves for harsh economic conditions.
“It is more sufficient for the leadership to show
compassion on the masses and by acting with fear of God,” Abubakar said.
Abubakar congratulated the Muslim faithful in Nigeria
and around the world on the successful completion of the Ramadan fasting.
He described the completion of Ramadan fasting as a
blessing from the Almighty.
He reminded Muslim faithful that the celebration of
Eid-el-fitri, “should be an opportunity to remind ourselves to continue to
intensify the good deeds that was embraced during Ramadan.
He also advised people to continue to pray for
progress in their private lives and that of Nigeria.
