GOVERNOR Babatunde Fashola of  LAGOS State has urged Nigerians to sustain the spirit of tolerance, peace and brotherhood during the holy month of Ramadan even after the Eld El-Fitri celebrations. <\/p>\n

  Speaking at the Dodan Barracks Praying Ground, Obalende, Lagos, he noted that the nation has sadly witnessed the escalation of division and insecurity, and Nigerians to close ranks and refuse to accommodate those who seek to profit from their pains.<\/p>\n

  \u201cNigerians must join hands to repair the fabric of love and oneness that binds us together. We are all members of one nation and in spite of our diversity, we are  bound by a common humanity,\u201d he said. <\/p>\n

   In the same vein, the National and International Missioner of the Ansar-Ud-Deen Society of Nigeria, Sheik Abdur-Rahman Ahmad called on Nigerians to shun corruption and the pursuit of material possessions, saying such pursuits would only lead to frustration and put them in shame when they come face to face with their maker. He spoke at third day Fidau prayers for Alhaji Ibrahim Ademola Bayo Fashola, governor Fashola\u2019s father. <\/p>\n

  Quoting from the Holy Quran, he expressed dismay that many Nigerians engage in the pursuit of wealth and abundance to the utter neglect of those around them, including their families.<\/p>\n

    Extolling the virtues of the late Alhaji Fashola, the cleric said: \u201cThe best of human being is the one that makes the best impact on the life of others and of course, Alhaji Ibrahim Fashola is an example of such\u201d. <\/p>\n

   The Executive Committee members of the Igbo socio-cultural group, Aka Ikenga, led by the President-General, Chief Goddy Uwazurike, also paid the governor a condolence visit.<\/p>\n
