Forgive me if I have sinned against you as we start Ramadan – President Tinubu tells Nigerian

Spread the love

President Bola Tinubu has appealed to Nigerians to forgive him if he has sinned against them.

The President made the appeal while speaking at the opening of this year’s Tafsir at the State House mosque in Abuja on Wednesday, February 18.

The president highlighted the overlap between Ramadan and the Christian season of Lent as a reminder of shared values.

“Ramadan coincides with Lent, reminding us of our common commitment to sacrifice, discipline, prayer, and self-denial,” he said.

We start this Ramadan with all the teaching that it brings to us all. But the main principle is to do good to people, to share love and faith, and to forgive sins. I say, if I have sinned, forgive me as Nigerians.”
President Tinubu added that fasting should go beyond physical abstinence, noting that it must embody kindness, forgiveness, good deeds, and love for humanity.

He urged Nigerians across all religions in the country to pray for peace and support efforts against terrorism, banditry, and insecurity.
