The candidate of the All Progressives Congress (APC) in the forthcoming July 8 senatorial election in Osun, Senator Mudashir Husain, has called on Muslim faithful and Nigerians in general to take advantage of the spiritual rebirth that Ramadan represents to promote love, peace and justice as well as reflect on the importance of unity in the country.

In a statement personally signed by him, Senator Hussein urged Muslims in the state and across the nation to remain peaceful by pursuing peace and ensuring peace “particularly as we draw near to Osun West Senatorial election.”

He said: “Let’s tolerate one another, work together and be able to harness our abundant resources as a progressive nation. We cannot achieve much with unnecessary disharmony. What Nigerians need now is to move forward with the present change era.

“I urge all Nigerians to imbibe the spirit of love, peace and justice, that these virtues are the panacea to united Nigeria.

“Let us seize this opportunity to pray for peace, unity and progress of our Fatherland, President Buhari’s health and the state government of Osun to be able to lead us to better days ahead.

“Also, call on Osun indigenes and the electorate to come out en mass during July 8 election to cast their vote peacefully and eschew violence before, during and after the election.”
