Eld-el-Fitr: Bauchi govt. restates commitment to peaceful coexistence
Gov. Bala Mohammed of Bauchi State, on Thursday, reiterated his administration’s commitment towards ensuring peaceful coexistence among different ethnic and religious groups in the state.
Mr Mohammed stated this in a message signed by Mouktar Gidado, special adviser on media and publicity.
He urged the people of the state to use the Eid-el-Fitr celebration to strengthen the existing relationships as well as establish new ones.
“You should also imbibe the spirit of forgiveness, love and respect for one another.
“I also appeal for tolerance and accommodation by the various ethnic, religious and political groups in the state.
“I appeal for your continued understanding, cooperation and support towards the realisation of this noble objective of the state government,” he said.
The governor promised to sustain the tempo of providing dividends of democracy and strive to improve upon his performances.
While facilitating Muslims on the occasion, Mr Mohammed wished that the lessons learned during Ramadan would continue to guide the people’s actions and utterances beyond the holy month.
“Finally, I pray to Allah to give us long life and good health to witness more Eid-el-Fitr celebrations. I wish you all a happy celebration”.
