President Jonathan Enjoins Muslims to Pray for Peace

President Goodluck Jonathan

  President Goodluck Ebele Jonathan has called on all Muslims to “pray for peace, stability and rapid socio-economic development in the country” in this holy month of Ramadan.

            The president made the call in a message posted on the wall of his facebook account.

“ In this holy month of Ramadan, I solidarize with my Muslim brothers and sisters and urge that as we fast together we should all pray for peace, stability and rapid socio-economic development in the nation,” read the message in part.

 President Jonathan further assured Muslims that this administration would continue to do all within its powers to give every Nigerian a true sense of belonging. 

 It could be recalled that the President had in an earlier message on his facebook wall said that “Truly, the only answer to those who want to curtail our freedom is to ensure that there are more freedoms. I am committed to strengthening our law enforcement bodies to meet the challenges of terrorism because while we greatly desire peace, I am nonetheless convinced that the greatest peace is a peace through strength.”
