"By way of this message, I congratulate Muslim brothers and sisters in Nigeria and around the world on the commencement and observation of the holy month of Ramadan.
"Recognized as the dean of the Islamic lunar months, Ramadan is a most sacred and special time.
"Ramadan asks of all of us to embrace acts of kindness, love our neighbours and reach out to the poor, needy and unfortunate among us. Our nation is one gifted by Allah with bountiful resources and a good and decent people. Yet, we also face serious and dangerous challenges because of a small few who know not the way of truth, love and goodness. These people have given themselves over to that which is bad and destructive."
Call for prayer
Tinubu urged the Muslim faithful to them to pray fervently during the holy month so as to overcome and defeat the challenges bedevilling the nation.
He added:
"During this holy month, may we fervently pray that we shall begin to overcome and defeat the chalk, which now confronts our beloved nation."
