A chieftain of the All Progressives Congress, APC, Ambassador Abayomi Nurain Mumuni, has appealed to traders not to complicate the current economic situation in the country.
Mumuni made the call in a statement on Monday, urging the traders to create ease for citizens.
He said this will help to make life comfortable for Muslims who are fasting during this period of Ramadan.
The statement signed by his Media Aide, Rasheed Abubakar, appealed to traders not to hike prices of food items across the country, tasking well-to-do members of society to assist the needy and less privileged people in their respective locations.

He used the medium to congratulate Nigerian Muslims as they join their brothers across the world to welcome the month of Ramadan.
Mumuni said, “Interestingly, the Ramadan fast of the Muslims is coming at a time the Christian faithful are also observing Lent, which has started since February. These are two special events for the religious community in Nigeria,” the statement read.
“I therefore urge both Muslims and Christians to make good use of this period to uplift their spirituality and especially pray for our country. We need economic recovery, increased security, prosperity and wisdom for the leaders.
“We shouldn’t lose hope in our country. Prayer is key in turning around the fortunes of Nigeria. So, we should offer a lot of prayers for the country and its leadership. We should not curse the country because it belongs to all of us.
