Senator Bala Mohammed Urged Muslim to sacrifices for the benefits of less privilege

Bauchi state Governor Bala Abdulkadir Mohammed stated this on a Sallah good will massage where Muslims are celebrating 2021 Eid El-Fitir.


The Governor added that, On a press statement issued by Special Adviser to the governor on media Comrade Mukhtar Gidado on Wednesday says As you all know the Eid-el-Fitr celebration formally marks the end of the  obligatory  Ramadan  fast which is observed annually by Muslims.   


According to him,  It is     therefore my sincere hope that we will   use the lessons of the Ramadan fast and continue to be responsible in both our utterances and conduct even after the Ramadan  period. 


He stated that, The Eid-el-Fitr  occasion  should  be used to reflect on our past activities and see how we fared spiritually, so that we can take corrective measures towards improving our relationship with Allah (SWT), fellow Muslim Umma and  adherents of other faiths.   We should  emulate  Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) by making sacrifices for the benefit of the less privileged ones in our society.  We  should  also  pray   to Almighty Allah for peace, 

unity and prosperity of  our dear State and the country as a whole.   


"As you all know, ours is  an ethnically  and religiously heterogeneous State.  It is  however gratifying that inspite of this palpable  heterogeneity we have been enjoying relative peace.  I would like to appeal to you all, irrespective of your ethnic and religious backgrounds, to use the occasion of the Eid-el- Fitr to   consolidate this harmonious coexistence.  To this end, the  occasion     should   also  be used to strengthen the existing relationships and also 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" he added. 


"As a Government, we are determined to discharge our primary responsibility of  protecting  the   lives and property of the entire people of Bauchi State. I will    therefore  like to appeal to all   to join hands with  the government in our  resolve to   have a secure, peaceful, prosperous and united Bauchi State " the governor explained. 


Senator Balance said, We are very much aware of the   economic difficulties being experienced by the people of the State, which is  a national problem. While Government is doing everything possible to see to the improvement of the situation, we should see it as a temporary set back, and as a people known for resilience, I am confident that we would overcome the    difficulty in no distant future.


 " The COVID-19 pandemic is still around.  I therefore appeal to you all  to continue to  observe   the protocols of social distancing, wearing  of face 

masks and washing  your hands wherever  the need arises.  You should also    endeavour to take 

the vaccine against the  pandemic.  Let me also appeal to motorists to    observe  traffic regulations 

so as to reduce   accidents on our  highways during and    beyond  the Eid-el-Fitr   celebration.  Parents 

should take care of their children and  wards in order to  minimize the incidents of missing children during the celebration" he disclosed. 


"Finally, I pray to Allah (SWT) to give us long life and good health to witness more Eid-el-Fitr celebrations.  I wish you all a happy Eid-el-Fitr Celebration" Gov Bala said.
