A
PDP chieftain, Kawu Baraje, has appealed to people with criminal
tendencies to show respect for the holy month of Ramadan and shun all
negative tendencies.
Baraje,who is the proprietor of Baraje Centre for Arabic and Islamic
Studies in Ilorin Kwara and a former PDP national chairman, made the
call in his Ramadan message to Muslim faithful in Ilorin on Saturday.
He appealed to evil doers and criminals to shun killing of innocent
souls and other social vices during the holy month of Ramadan by moving
closer to God.
He said they should have a complete change of mind even after the Ramadan period because Islam preaches peace and harmony.
The PDP chieftain described the new dimension in crime wave in the country, such as bombing and kidnapping, as alien to Nigeria.
According to him, the actions are not only alien to our culture and tradition but also to both Islam and Christianity.
Baraje called on Muslim faithful and religious leaders to be more
sincere and firm in their sermons so that people would change for the
better.
