Goodluck Support Group (GSG), a non-government organization in support of President Goodluck Jonathan’s Transformation Agenda, congratulates all Nigerians of Islamic faith in the country on the successful conclusion of the 2013 Ramadan fast and marking of the year’s Eid-el Fitri.
In a statement signed by the Deputy National Coordinator of the group, Dr. Eddy Olafeso, GSG urged all Muslims and other Nigerians to live up to the moral ideals and sacrifices symbolized by the Ramadan fast.
Said Olafeso: “After spending a month-long of intense spiritual renewal, devotion, and self-denial, it is our hope that not only our Muslim brothers and sisters will continue to live up to the lofty ideals, but the entire country as well.”
GSG extolled the virtue of leaders and followers of Islam and Christianity in the country, who have continued to live peacefully with one another.
The statement added: “The unity of our dear country is of paramount importance to us, and that is why the GSG organised a special iftar (breaking of Ramadan fast) for both Muslims and Christians during the Muslim Holy Month.”
GSG called on all Nigerians to continue to support the administration of President Jonathan, as it builds on the firm foundations for sustainable national development already established in areas such as public infrastructure, roads, transportation, aviation, agriculture, education, healthcare, power supply, youth employment and electoral reform.
