Mr Henry Morka, the party’s National Publicity Secretary made the call in a statement on Tuesday in Abuja./
“The sunrise-to-sunset fast leading to this celebration is usually characterised by repentance, supplications, piety, charity, spiritual upliftment and total devotion to Allah.
“As we celebrate, we urge our Muslim faithfuls to continue to lead lives that exemplify such timeless virtues as self-denial, more prayers for humility,, love, kindness, charity and forgiveness.
