Earlier, Buhari, in his Ramadan message, had challenged Muslim ummah to use the opportunity offered by Ramadan to increase their love for humanity, acts of charity, kindness, generosity and gratitude.
According to him, fasting is not just merely meant to stay hungry or thirsty, but an opportunity to strive for inner purification and self-accountability.
“It is meant to inculcate righteousness and discipline,” he said.
He stated that the Holy Prophet Muhammad used to spend very generously on the poor and the needy during this period.
The President, therefore, urged Muslims in the country and all over the world to copy the good example.
He called on all Nigerians to always remember “men and women who are less fortunate than themselves and to help the government in confronting the challenges facing the nation”.
The President prayed Allah to grant all Muslims the strength to successfully complete the fasting period.
