Governor Dauda Lawal has urged Muslim faithful to intensify prayers for peace in the state and the country.

Mr Lawal made the appeal in a congratulatory message to Muslims as the Ramadan fasting ended, according to a statement on Thursday.

According to the message, Mr Lawal reiterated that Eid-el-Fitr marks the end of the holy month of Ramadan, during which Muslims fast, pray, and reflect spiritually.

“I congratulate the Muslim faithful in Zamfara and Nigeria as we conclude the 30-day Ramadan fast, marking this year’s Eid El-Fitr, the ‘festival of breaking the fast’.

“Eid El-Fitr is a joyous occasion, representing gratitude, unity, and renewal. It is a moment to intensify our prayers for peace in our beloved state and throughout the nation.

“The 30-day fast we just observed aims to instil patience, self-discipline, empathy, spiritual mindfulness, and a deeper connection with God. To improve Zamfara and Nigeria for everyone, we must unite. We have a collective responsibility to be our brothers’ keepers and work towards a better future for our state and the nation,” Mr Lawal said.

The governor prayed for a peaceful Eid celebration and hoped for the blessings of good health, peace, and a thriving economy in the years to come.
