Eid El-Kabir: Buni urges the people to pray for the country
By: Yahaya Wakili
Governor Mai Mala Buni of Yobe State has urged the people of the state to use the Eid-el-Kabir occasion to pray for the state and country.
The governor, in his Sallah message to the people, said, “The peace, security, and prosperity of the country are paramount to every citizen.
“We should therefore intensify prayers to our leaders to be guided aright for increased peace, security, and prosperity in our dear country,” he said.
Governor Buni charged the people of the state and the North East to continue to support and cooperate with the security operatives.
“His Excellency President Bola Ahmed Tinubu, GCFR, has shown great commitment to fighting insecurity. He should be supported and encouraged to succeed,” Governor Buni said.
He urged the people to promote the virtues of peaceful coexistence, love, and sacrifice as lessons of the Eid.
“These virtues should go beyond the sallah season for us to build a peaceful, strong, and united country.” Buni said.
The governor commended the security agencies for their commitment to ensuring peace reigns across the state.
He also appreciated the people for their resilience in rebuilding their communities and recovering their means of livelihood.
“As the rainy season commences, we should engage in agriculture to produce our food needs.
“Our administration would soon launch a massive agricultural revolution to make agriculture attractive, productive, and profitable to meet our food requirements and export others for economic development.
“You should therefore take advantage of this program and key into the development agenda of the administration.
