Gombe state Governor, Muhammadu Inuwa Yahaya, has felicitated with the Muslim Ummah in the state and across the world on the celebration of this year’s Eid-el-Kabir, with a call on them to imbibe the spirit of sacrifice, obedience, and tolerance.
The Governor stated this in his Sallah message to the people of Gombe State, stressing the need to supplicate to the will of Allah in all situations.
He enjoined Muslims to sustain their prayers for the peace, security, and prosperity of the state and the nation at large, especially the new dispensation.
The Governor also urged them to use the occasion to extend hands of support and show love and good neighbourliness as exemplified by Prophet Ibrahim (AS) and upheld by Prophet Muhammad (PBUH).
He said, “As we celebrate the Eid-el-Kabir festival, I want to admonish us to reflect on the message and lessons of the season which teaches total submission, obedience, and selflessness. We must also imbibe the tenets of Islam which promote peace, tolerance, modesty, and love.”
He appreciated the traditional institution, community and religious leaders, and the entire people of Gombe state for their support and understanding while reiterating his administration’s resolve to continue to provide quality leadership and consolidate on the gains so far recorded for a better tomorrow.
He congratulated the Muslim Pilgrims performing Hajj for a successful Arafat and other Hajj rites and prayed for a pleasant and rewarding completion of the holy pilgrimage.
