Muslims should extend purity, godliness beyond Ramadan period – Nigeria first lady, Sen. Oluremi Tinubu

First Lady, Senator Oluremi Tinubu, has called on Muslim faithful to allow the purity and godliness currently being exhibited to extend beyond the Ramadan period.

Mrs. Tinubu gave the charge on Tuesday at the Banquet Hall of the State House, Abuja during Iftal (breaking of Ramadan fast) she organised for federal female legislators, former first ladies, and governors’ wives, among others.

According to a release by her media aide, Busola Kukoyi, Mrs Tinubu noted that the various programmes by her husband, President Bola Tinubu, were all on track, and the results were beginning to be visible for all to see.

“This is a very solemn time, the time that we  are supposed to reflect and also ask God for the forgiveness, where we have erred and do better.

“This time should not just end after 30-days fasting and prayers, we should take it into the way Nigeria is going to be at the horizon.

“Nigeria is on the path of greatness, things cannot be done the same way, it used to be. We have to do whatever it takes to turn things around,” she said.

She, therefore, urged the women to also support one another in order to get the nation fully back on track, reiterating that the nation would be greater and that citizens would be happy once there was love, peace and harmony.

Wife of the Vice-President, Hajia Nana Shettima, who spoke earlier, appreciated Mrs Tinubu for all she had done for the nation.

She urged all women to support the current government and the programmes of the first lady through the Renewed Hope Initiative, urging women to remember the nation in their prayers, especially in these last 10 days of Ramadan.

The guest lecturer, Professor Marian  Lemu, advised women to remember that God created humans equal, and urged them not to forget all they learnt during Ramadan, and continue in that line.
