The Plateau State Governor, Simon Bako Lalong has urged Muslim
faithful in the country to use the occasion of Eid-el-Fitr celebration
to pray fervently for the recovery of President Muhammadu Buhari and for
the peace and unity of Nigeria.
The governor in a statement issued in Jos on Saturday by his
Director, Press and Public Affairs, Dr. Emmanuel Nanle, called on all
citizens in the state to “live in harmony with one another and practice
their religion in love, truth and in peace.”
While urging the Muslim faithful to reflect on the lessons learnt
during the Ramadan period and on the significance of fasting as a
religious obligation, Lalong pleaded with them to allow its true meaning
reflect deeply in their lives and on the positive impact it would make
in the lives of others.
The governor stressed that, “without the virtues of love and
tolerance, religion would make no meaning and peace and stability would
be elusive in the society.”
