The ICDA President in a Ramadan Message, said Ramadan Fast should not just be seen as a religious ritual performed by Moslem Faithfuls, but learn and adhere to the values of selfless and sacrificial leadership for the people, as taught by Prophet Mohammed (S.A.W)
He further emphasized that one of the values of the Ramadan Fast is the need for Zakat, which is compulsory giving to the less privileged, should be a sober reflection to consider the poor, especially in the delivery of the goods of political governance and meeting the demands of leadership by the people.
In this vein, the ICDA President, also called on all observers of the Ramadan Fast, to use opportunity of the season to pray for the peace, unity and security of Nigeria, as well as Wisdom to guide our leaders right.
