The governor urged Muslims to use the festive period to promote peace and support the government’s efforts to address the nation’s security challenges.
Lawal stated this on Tuesday in a statement by his spokesperson, Sulaiman Idris, adding that the Muslim community should remain steadfast.
The statement read in part, “Eid-al-Fitr is a time of great joy as it represents the successful completion of the fasting period and spiritual reflection in the holy month of Ramadan.
“On Eid, Muslims express gratitude for the health and opportunities Allah has given them to fulfill their obligation of fasting.
“We should use this festive period to promote peace and harmony.
“To address Nigeria’s security challenges, we must watch out for each other, remain steadfast in our prayers, and support the government’s efforts to end all vices and criminalities.
“I congratulate all Muslim communities in Zamfara, Nigeria, and around the world. May we celebrate many more Eids in good health.”
