Kano State Governor Abdullahi Umar Ganduje yesterday congratulated Muslims on the celebration of this year’s Eid-el-Fitr.
He greeted the five first-class Emirs of Kano, Bichi, Karaye, Rano and Gaya Emirates for a successful completion of one of the five pillars of Islam.
The governor noted that as leaders of their domains, they should be congratulated for observing the last day of Ramadan.
“We saw how these leaders sailed through with their subjects in guiding them towards exhibition of good virtues and traits while worshipping our Creator, Allah,” he said.
Ganduje expressed appreciation for the show of good virtues among Muslims during the just-concluded Ramadan.
The governor advised them “…to maintain the good virtues that were inculcated into their minds and exhibited through good behaviours and manners, culminated from the teachings of the religious practice of Ramadan”.
He added: “During our days in the month of Ramadan, it appeared to all how people became more brothers’ keepers. This and many other decent characters need to be maintained so that people get overhauled of their general behaviour.”
Ganduje hailed the people for praying for the peace and tranquillity in Kano State and other parts of the country.
“We are aware how patriotic our people were, and still are, in praying for the peaceful coexistence in our state and corporate existence of our dear nation,” he said.
Ganduje said as he took the second oath of office as the governor during Ramadan, he hoped that he had started on a sound and blissful footing.
“With Allah’s power, we shall have peaceful and productive second tenure.
“By the special Grace of Allah, our state will continue to be and remain peaceful; more developmental projects and programmes will come our way and security situation in the country will improve,” he said.
