The Executive Chairman of Abuja Municipal Area Council (AMAC), Christopher Maikalangu, has felicitated with Nigerian Muslims in the council on the commencement of Ramadan.
This was disclosed in a statement by the special assistant media to the AMAC chairman, Kingsley Madaki.
Maikalangu, who attended a wedding ceremony in Guzape community, urged residents of AMAC to use the Ramadan period to pray for the unity, peace, and harmony in the council.
He acknowledged that as a leader, he is not infallible and needs divine intervention to steer the council to greater heights.
The AMAC chairman also appealed to Muslim faithful in the council to pray for the FCT Minister, Barr. Nyesom Ezenwo Wike, and his administration to continue their developmental strides in the FCT.
He commended the minister’s efforts, saying that his achievements are visible and commendable.
Maikalangu further called on wealthy individuals and groups to support the needy during and after Ramadan, as enjoined by the Holy Prophet Muhammad (SAW).
He assured that the council will do everything possible to reduce the burden of the less privileged during the Ramadan period.
The chairman expressed his gratitude to the Muslim community in AMAC for their support to his administration and wished them a peaceful and rewarding Ramadan.
