Governor of Ebonyi State, Francis Nwifuru, has urged the Muslim Ummah to maximise the Sallah period and pray for peace, progress, unity and development of Nigeria.
Nwifuru, in his message to mark Eid-el-Kabir, prayed for Allah’s blessings to fill their lives and usher them into an era of prosperity even as he wished them a long life.
This was contained in a statement by his Chief press secretary, Dr Monday Uzor on Saturday in Abakaliki.
“May I on behalf of the Government and people of Ebonyi State wish all our Muslim Brothers and Sisters Barka de Sallah”.
The Governor used the occasion to reiterate the commitment of his administration to carry all segments of society along in the scheme of things.
The Governor noted with happiness the contributions of Muslims in the state towards the realization of his people’s charter of needs agenda, assuring that every security arrangement has been perfected to ensure a hitch-free Sallah celebration.
The Ebonyi leader prayed, “May the blessings of Allah fill your life with happiness and open all the doors of success now and always”.
