Saraki Foundation Launches Iftar Meal Sharing In Five States


Former Senate President and founder, ABS Foundation, Dr Abubakar Bukola Saraki, has harped on the importance of togetherness, giving and supplication during the month of Ramadan and beyond.

He said all Nigerians across religious divides must devote the fasting period to pray for Nigeria and seek Allah's intervention.

Saraki who spoke while reacting to the commencement of iftar meal sharing in some states of the federation by his Abubakar Bukola Saraki Foundation, said privileged individuals must endeavor to make the fasting season comfortable for the less privileged, especially because of the economic situation in the country.

As part of its annual tradition, the ABS Foundation is to commence the sharing of Iftar meals across selected mosques in Kwara, Niger, Borno, Kano and the federal capital territory, Abuja.

The ABS Foundation Ramadan Iftar programme is to run through the last 10 days of the holy month of fasting.

Hon. Musa Aliyu, the Regional Director, ABS Foundation, North Central, disclosed this in a statement released on Wednesday, March 19, 2025.

According to him, the foundation hopes to accommodate at least 100 people per mosque with over 50 mosques being targeted across Kwara State.

The iftar welfare programme will also hold at selected mosques in Niger, Borno, Kano and the FCT.

Aliyu added that the gesture, which is an annual practice, is to extend love to the Muslim Ummah, and ensure that the needy also participate in the fasting without any lack.

Musa Aliyu,
North Central Regional Director,
Abubakar Bukola Saraki Foundation

Another political gimmick. Weaponization of abject poverty and vulnerability of the downtrodden masses.

You ever wonder if Saraki’s iftar meals are actually a clever way to win hearts and minds across Nigeria, setting the stage for something much bigger?

These Northern Leaders has harden thier heart not to repent. They are bent on using Islam to keep impoverishing the people so as to keep ruling and dictating to them while the poor masses keep on being under their mercy to eat a meal

Saraki did well while he was Senate President.

This Senator Godswill Akpabio of a man his not trying at all.

The Republic of Cameroun is already having the confidence to annex parts of his Akwa Ibom / Cross Rivers Border towns.

Matthew 6:16-18

But when you fast, anoint your head and wash your face, that your fasting may not be seen by others but by your Father who is in secret. And your Father who sees in secret will reward you.

So all these public display of fast is religion and not what God wants

This quotation is from the bible, you don't expect a Muslim to rely on bible to validate a pillar of Islam.

The month of Ramadan generally stand for a month that Muslim should fast not for anybody but Allah and it's not something hidden everybody knows this even the non Muslim. Unlike the lent fasting that even the Christians hardly observed it, or they'll rather chose to break their fast when they wish.

The bible is not religion. Thats why it is not in contradiction with others. The truth is to fast while religion will state how long and often to fast. Big difference.

Saraki is wasting his time. Any Iftar Meal initiative without inviting Peter Obi is null and void cool
