Nigerian President Buhari Attends Ramadan Quran Interpretation Session

TEHRAN (IQNA) – Nigerian President Muhammadu Buhari on Tuesday joined Muslim faithful in the State House mosque in the capital Abuja for the Ramadan Tafsir (interpretation of the Quran).

The president, who was accompanied by personal aides, was attending the Tafsir for the first time in two years following the closure of the mosque throughout the Ramadan last year due to the restrictions in public gatherings put in place by the Presidential Task Force (PTF) on COVID-19.

He called the epidemic “a trial from the Almighty as well as a leveller and equalizer of humanity.”

The Chief Imam urged Nigerians to continue to observe the regulations put in place by the relevant authorities to help prevent the spread of the coronavirus, Tribuneonlineng.com reported.
