Jandor urges Nigerians to unite as Ramadan, Lent begin same day
Abdul-Azeez Adediran (Jandor), the lead visioner of the Lagos4Lagos Movement, says Ramadan and Lent remind citizens of their shared duty to build a caring society.
Mr Adediran, a former governorship candidate, said this in a statement. Felicitating Muslims and Christians, he described Ramadan and Lent as seasons of deep reflection, sacrifice and renewed devotion to God.
He noted that both observances promote humility, compassion, discipline and service to humanity.
“These solemn seasons remind us of our shared responsibility to build a more caring, just and inclusive society. As we fast, pray and reflect, let us recommit to the collective good and a prosperous, progressive Lagos for all,” he said.
Mr Adediran urged residents to pray for peace, unity and progress, while encouraging charity, tolerance and mutual respect among all faiths.
He wished Muslims a peaceful Ramadan and prayed that Lent would bring renewal and divine guidance to Christians across the state.
Muslims began Ramadan on Wednesday, while Christians marked Ash Wednesday, signalling the start of Lent.
