Kaduna State Governor, Uba Sani, has urged the Muslims in Nigeria to use the Eid-El-Fitr celebration to pray for the restoration of peace and security in the country.
Sani made this call in his goodwill message to mark the Eid-El-Fitr celebration in a statement via his official X handle.
He congratulated the Muslims in Nigeria and around the world on the Eid-El-Fitr festivity which marks the end of Ramadan fasting, noting that the Ramadan period gives Muslims faithful the opportunity to exhibit the value of charity, compassion and cooperation.
The Governor added that it was a period to seek forgiveness and appreciate the Almighty Allah for His mercy.
“The Ramadan period afforded the Muslim faithful the world over the opportunity to demonstrate the values of charity, compassion and cooperation, as well as reflect, seek forgiveness, and show gratitude to Almighty Allah for His mercy
“I wish to felicitate with my fellow Muslim brothers and sisters in Kaduna State, Nigeria and across the globe on the joyous occasion of Eid-El-Fitr, the celebration of the end of the Ramadan fasting, one of the five pillars of Islam.
“The Ramadan period afforded the Muslim faithful the world over the opportunity to demonstrate the values of charity, compassion and cooperation, as well as reflect, seek forgiveness, and show gratitude to Almighty Allah for His countless blessings.
“It renewed, among the faithful, a strong sense of community as people gathered in mosques and community spaces to share iftar meals with their neighbours. As we celebrate the occasion of Eid-el-Fitr, I urge the Muslim faithful to imbibe in their daily lives the lessons of Ramadan, which includes self-control, discipline, sacrifice, perseverance, and total devotion to the will of Almighty Allah.
I call on all Nigerians to use the Eid-el-Fitr celebration to pray for the restoration of peace and security in our communities. May we see the end of terrorism, banditry, insurgency, kidnapping and other forms of violent crime in Nigeria.
” As Nigerians, we must continue to pray for our leaders and ask Almighty Allah to guide and strengthen them so that they can lead our states and country to the path of progress and sustainable development. Our dear President, Bola Ahmed Tinubu, GCFR is working very hard to secure the country and stabilize the economy. We must give him all the support and cooperation,” he wrote.
