While underscoring and imbibing the tenets of sacrifice exemplified by Prophet Ibrahim and his son Ishmael, I implored all to inculcate the practice of tolerance, perseverance and sacrifice in strengthening peace, harmonious living and patriotism in the state and the country at large.
I pray to Allah to continue to elevate us all in our respective places of work and businesses, and may we witness more years of the celebration on earth.”
