Governor Bago condemns bandits’ displacement of Niger residents, seeks divine intervention

Governor Mohammed Bago has expressed concern over the displacement of Niger residents by bandits, dedicating his 52nd birthday to seeking God’s succour for the affected people.
Addressing journalists on his birthday on Sunday, the governor said that there was no better time to pray for God’s mercy and intervention than now.
“My birthday coincides with both the Muslim fasting month of Ramadan and the Christian Lenten season, making it an ideal time for interfaith prayers for the nation.
“I dedicate the day for special prayers across the state and in all places of worship for God to bring succour to the people,” he added.
