The royal father, who made this comment yesterday in Bida preparatory to the end of Ramadan, noted that the two major religions in the country preach peace, unity and love for one another, saying that, that must be maintained for the good of the nation.
The Etsu Nupe said that without peace and unity, ``socio-economic development will continue to elude any society. We should therefore always strive to maintain peace.’’
The monarch also urged Muslims in the country to use the remaining few days of fasting period to pray fervently for national peace and progress.
The royal father however called on the leaders at all levels to lead the people with the fear of God, saying, “They should always remember that they will all account for their deeds on the day of reckoning”
He also advised Muslims to abstain from all forms of vices as enjoined by the teachings of Islam, pointing out that ``we must maintain our God-fearing acts which we exhibited during the fasting period”.
According him, “Muslims should strive to maintain all their good deeds during the fasting period and shun all the evil and devilish acts they have abstain themselves during the Holy month of Ramadan,” as by so doing would they meet their needs and enjoy their possessions on earth and hereafter.
