Eid-el-Fitr: Pray for restoration of peace in our nation, Uba Sani tells Nigerians

Uba Sani, governor of Kaduna, has asked Nigerians to pray for the restoration of peace and security in Nigeria.

In his Eid-el-Fitr message, the Kaduna governor congratulated Muslims in the country for completing the Ramadan fasting.

“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 statement reads.

“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.

“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 include 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.

“We are making steady progress. We are determined to change the face of Kaduna State. We want to make rural living a pleasurable experience.

‘We are focused on turning Kaduna State into an international business hub; the investors’ choice destination.”
