Nigeria’s President, Bola Tinubu has charged Muslim and Christian leaders in the country to show greater compassion for the poor and the less privileged by pursuing policies that will address the needs of the majority in the grassroots.
‎
‎Tinubu who spoke while hosting governors for the breaking of an interfaith fast at the Presidential Villa, said the simultaneous periods of abstinence and penitence for both religions underscore a common humanity.
‎
‎He noted that Ramadan and Lent provide opportunities for leaders in both religions to reflect further on the plight of others and to design programmes that will directly impact the livelihoods of many.
‎
‎The President said more could be achieved, especially in reducing poverty and empowering the youth.
‎
‎He welcomed the Kano State Governor, Abba Kabir Yusuf, to the State House.
‎
‎Tinubu also commended Governor Babagana Zulum of Borno State for his magnanimity to both Muslims and Christians during the period of fasting.
