'Because of Ramadan, I will Not Respond To You'- Sen. Ben Bruce Tells Gov. Aregbesola

In response to being called out by  Governor Aregbesola for wanting to give away his wardrobe allowance to the unpaid workers of Ogun State, Senator Ben Murray Bruce has decided not to minch words with the governor in the spirit of Ramadan.

The Senator tweeted his resolve on his Twitter page this afternoon;

I'll take whatever attacks come my way but nothing & nobody can dissuade me from doing what my conscience directs in helping my fellow man.

The month of Ramadan is here. Many unpaid workers will fast. With what will they break their fast? I thought of that and it moved me to act.

I may not be a Muslim, but I respect Islam and I believe that it is wrong for me to respond to any attack during the Holy month of Ramadan.

I wish the Muslim Ummah a successful fast. Please pray for God's intervention in Nigeria so that peace may return. Ramadan Kareem!
