The All Progressives Congress (APC) in Osun in a statement signed by Mr Kunle Oyatomi, the party's Director of Publicity, Strategy and Research on Saturday in Osogbo has urged Muslims to use the Ramadan as a period of reflection and pray for peace to reign in Nigeria.
The statement urged Muslims to pray for political sanity to pre-occupy the hearts of politicians, especially those who are desperate for political power.
"As a religion that promotes and preaches peace and brotherly relationship, true Muslims should be in the vanguard of peaceful co-existence in the society.
"At this period of great challenges facing Nigeria and the political class, fasting and praying for divine intervention is a great necessity.
"Let us use this period as effectively as we can to pray for sanity and peace to reign supreme before, during and after the election scheduled for Aug. 9 in the state and general elections in 2015’’, it added.
