Friday Olokor, Jos
The Plateau State Governor, Simon Bako Lalong, has felicitated with the entire Muslim Ummah in the country, on the occasion of Eid-el-Fitr celebration.
He called on citizens of the State to continue praying 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.
