March 12, 2024

In line with its annual religious practice, the President of the 8th Senate, Dr Abubakar Bukola Saraki, on Tuesday, commenced the distribution of food items to Muslim faithful and others in Kwara.

The former Senate President also continued to host different groups of people for Iftar at his Ilorin residence.

Beneficiaries of the food items include traditional rulers, Islamic scholars, party faithful, artisans, youth and women groups.

According to a statement in Ilorin, by his Press Officer on Local Matters, Abdulganiyu Abdulqadir, the distribution of the food items is in fulfillment of Saraki’s annual practice and a gesture to ensure that everyone observes the Ramadan practice in comfort.

Addressing guests at his residence during the breaking of the day’s fast, Saraki stressed the need to spread love and further bond together during the holy month of Ramadan and beyond.

He reiterated his call for prayer for the nation at this critical time of mounting security challenges and economic hardship.

“It is my utmost joy to be with you all at this season of piety and supplication, to pray with you and observe Iftar as directed by Prophet Mohammed (SAW).

“I appreciate your presence and love always and want to beseech you to spend the fasting period praying for a turnaround in our nation’s fortune.

“Let us also continue to show love, unite, and build a formidable force towards the emancipation of our land,” he said.

The Waziri Ngeri of Ilorin Emirate, on Monday, arrived in Ilorin, the Kwara State capital, and has since been playing host to political associates, individuals, and various groups.
