Gov. Idris appreciated the people of the state for their patience, understanding, resilience, and support to the present administration and urged them to sustain the tempo.
He advised Muslims to sustain the lessons of love, kindness, brotherhood, fear of God Almighty,, and devotion as learned during the Holy Month of Ramadan.
“Fasting the month of Ramadan is not only restricted to abstinent from eating, drinking, smoking, and sexual intercourse, but it also entails being modest, humble, and exhibiting good character.
“As Muslims, we need to put into practice the lessons we have learned from this holy month by being kind to one another.
“We should endeavor to tolerate, accommodate, and extend hands of fellowship to the orphans, less privileged, downtrodden, and vulnerable members of the society,” the governor encouraged.
