The Governor encouraged the Muslims to imbibe the lessons and spirits of the fasting month and act in line with them in the society.

“I wish everyone a blessed Eid, and pray Allah to accept and reward our fasting, our alms, and our worship with Al-Jannah Firdaus.

“I pray Allah to accept our prayers on ourselves, our families, our communities and our country, Nigeria.

“We beseech Him to grant us peace and harmony and give all the leaders (incumbent and incoming) the guidance to move our country to greater heights.

“Similarly, in the spirit of the holy month, I urge our compatriots to forgive one another, put behind us all pre-election grudges and support all government’s initiatives to build and consolidate peace in every part of Nigeria, as well as build a stronger economy in an atmosphere of love and harmony.

“This is our country; we have a task to make it work with our collective efforts, commitment and good attitude, keeping in mind that no society is without its struggles,” he said.
