“There is no need to add to the hardship and difficulties in the land with unnecessary disagreements and strifes,’’ he said.

The cleric, who doubles as the Chief Missioner of the centre, urged Nigerians to support the anti-corruption fight of the Federal Government.

“Our basic headache is massive looting of the treasury and wealth of the nation and dumping same in developed countries.

“If half of what had been stolen in the country in the past 10 years were repatriated and given to a focused leadership, I believe we would be among the leading countries of the world,’’ he said.

Isola said Ramadan is a period Muslims and mankind should draw closer to Almighty Allah for forgiveness and blessings.
