President Bola Tinubu says the rare overlap of Lent and Ramadan this year is a powerful reminder that Nigerians share common values of faith, sacrifice, and unity.
President Bola Tinubu has called on Nigerians to embrace peace and unity as Christians and Muslims begin Lent and Ramadan on the same day — an uncommon spiritual coincidence.
Tinubu said the simultaneous observance highlights the shared values that bind Nigerians together as one people under God.
He noted that Lent is a period of fasting, repentance, and reflection for Christians, while Ramadan represents devotion, sacrifice, charity, and spiritual renewal for Muslims.
The President urged citizens to use the sacred seasons to strengthen peace, promote good neighbourliness, and pray for Nigeria’s stability and progress.
He also encouraged Nigerians to live out the true teachings of their faiths through compassion, service, and unity.
