Bauchi: Bala Preaches Peace, Unity As Muslim Faithful Mark Eidel - Kabir

The Governor of Bauchi State, Senator Bala Mohammed, wants Muslim faithful to praise Allah for graciously sparing their lives to witness yet another  Eid-el-Kabir celebration.

According to the Governor in his Sallah message to the state, “the Eid-el-Kabir celebration, as we all know, is observed annually by Muslims to commemorate the spiritual sacrifice made by Prophet Abraham who, in total submission to the will of Allah, answered the  Divine call to sacrifice his only son, Prophet Ismail. It is incumbent on the Muslim Ummah to  observe the highest spiritual sacrifice ever made in observance of Divine injunction.”

The Governor disclosed that the “occasion of the Eid-el-Kabir should be used to reflect on how we have fared morally and spiritually during the last one year so as to take corrective measures, where necessary, for us  to be amongst the believers who will enjoy the mercies of Allah in the hereafter.”

Bala explained that as a religion, Islam propagates total submission to the will of Allah and peaceful co-existence amongst the Muslim Ummah and with adherents of other faiths.” 

The Governor who was sworn in for a second term of four years May 29, explained that “The Holy Qur’an has also commanded all Muslims to give something (in charity) out of the treasure which Allah has bestowed on them. This should be done without consideration for religious, ethnic or political differences. We should also use the Eid–el Kabir occasion to strengthen the existing interpersonal relationships and create new ones. There is also the need for us to imbibe the spirit of forgiveness, humility and respect for one another. We should  pray for the prevailing  peace in the State to be sustained and for adequate rainfall for us to  have a bumper harvest during this farming season."

He therefore used the opportunity to  reassure the state of the irrevocable commitment of his administration to justify ”the confidence reposed in me by re-electing me  to serve you for another four years."  

"We would embark on aggressive execution of  programmes and projects that have direct bearing on your lives. We would deliver more dividends of democracy than we did during our first term in infrastructural development,  health care delivery, education, agriculture and human capital development through economic empowerment."  

"We are not unmindful of the economic hardship being experienced by the generality of the people. This is a national problem which is being jointly addressed by the Federal and State Governments. I want to  appeal to you  to bear with  the situation which Is temporary. As a  responsive and responsible Government, we will continue to render palliative measures with a view to cushioning the effects of the hardship. I will however appeal to you to make some sacrifices to ensure that we overcome the hardship."   

"Let me use this opportunity to appeal to all motorists to observe traffic regulations so as to minimize  accidents on our highways throughout the period of Eid-el-Kabir  celebration and beyond. I appeal to parents to monitor the movement of their children and wards in order to reduce the incidents of missing children during this festivity.”
