Plateau state Governor Elect Barr Caleb Mutfwang has felicitated with the Muslim faithfuls on the Plateau as they join the rest of other Muslims in Nigeria to celebrate this year’s Eid- El-Fitr Celebrations.
Barr Mutfwang in a Press statement issued on Friday through his Director of media campaign council Yiljab Abraham which he made available to newsmen rejoiced with Muslim Umma on this unique festival of breaking of the fast.
Mutfwang commended the Muslim faithfuls for their perseverance and self-discipline all through the Ramadan fasting period.
The statement reads that ” I on behalf of the Deputy Governor-elect, I rejoice with our Muslim Umma on this unique festival of breaking the fast.
I congratulate you particularly for your perseverance, self-discipline and piety all through the Ramadan.
By faith, we trust that God Almighty has received your precious gifts and the intense prayers you have offered on behalf of our State and the whole nation.
The statement further reads that ” The 2023 Ramadan and Eid el-Fitr are particularly of great significance because they have come within our nation’s political transition period. In just about a month away, a new president, state Governors, National Assembly as well as State legislators will be sworn into office in Nigeria’s 24 years of unbroken Democratic journey. “
We therefore make this passionate plea to you: heighten your prayers for our country and Plateau State so that all may go well across the entire nation on May 29, 2023 and hereafter.
In addition, we plead with all citizens to re-commit themselves to peaceful neigbourliness. Our communities need peace and secure environments to concentrate on their farming and business activities.
Without peace and security, our communities may be driven into poverty and every form of deprivation.
As the incoming administration, we commit ourselves to offering quality leadership that will unite the people and work hand in hand with them, security agencies as well as people and institutions of goodwill to secure Plateau, the statement further reads.
