Governor of Enugu State, Dr. Peter Mbah, has congratulated Muslim faithful in the state and across the nation on the successful observance of the Ramadan Fast.
Mbah extolled the lessons and virtues of faith, togetherness, mercy, and charity inherent in the Holy Month of Ramadan, describing them as critical values in nation building.
These were contained in his Eid-el-Fitr message to the Muslim faithful on Sunday.
He said, “I congratulate our Muslim brethren on the successful journey of faith, sacrifice, and charity throughout the holy month of Ramadan and rejoice with them on the occasion of Eid-el-Fitr.
“It is my prayer that the virtues of faith, peace, love, mercy, tolerance, and sacrifice imbibed during the Ramadan Fast shall continue to enrich and underline our individual lives and bonding as one people.
“Indeed, it is by faith, working together, and forbearance nurtured by love that we can build a new and more prosperous Nigeria.
“May the profound lesson inherent in the fact this Ramadan was held alongside the Christian Lent foster religious tolerance and national cohesion.”
Governor Mbah wished the people of the state and all Nigerians a delightful and hitch-free Eid-el-Fitr celebration.
