He said: “Coming at a time that Muslims faithful are also embarking on the Ramadan fast, this time should be seen as one that all of us must come together to pray for peace and also imbibe it.
“We must also not relent in efforts at promoting tolerance and peaceful coexistence amongst the populace, especially at a time the government is doing all it can to stem the tide of insecurity in some parts of the country.”
Senator Mustapha commended Christians for their observance of the Lenten period and encouraged them to contemplate the profound significance of the season.
