The Presidential Candidate of the Social Democratic Party, SDP, Prince Adewole Adebayo has felicitated with Nigerians, particularly the Muslim Ummah, on the occasion of the Muharram 1444 AH, the New Islamic Year!
This is contained in a statement signed by him in Abuja.
Adebayo appreciates the faithful for their prayers, which he says have been strengthening the people and sustaining the nation, in the face of its numerous challenges.
The statement urges Muslims not to cease praying for Nigeria or waver in their belief that the purpose of Allah shall prevail for the country.
“I wish all Muslims, brothers and sisters, worldwide a most beautiful and very happy Islamic Year full of Mercy and Grace of Allah SWT for Nigeria in these troubling, humbling times and a world in need of truth, justice and peace” Adebayo emphasized.
The Islamic calendar follows a 30-year cycle, with 19 years of 354 days and 11 leap years of 355 days, which falls on a different day on the Gregorian calendar every year.
