The Governor of Rivers State, Siminalayi Fubara, has enjoined Muslim faithful to remain steadfast to the lessons learnt during the holy month of Ramadan.
The governor said this in his message of felicitations to Muslims as they celebrate the 2024 Eid-el-Fitr, his Chief Press Secretary, Nelson Chukwudi, said.
Fubara emphasised the importance for Muslims to also uphold the tenets of Islam by exhibiting the fear of God and showing piety in their daily work.
He said, “We must all continue in the good attributes imbibed during the holy month of Ramadan as directed by God through His Prophet, so as to ensure peace, unity and harmony in the society for a better future.”
While praying that the essence of the festival offers them happiness, peace and prosperity in all aspects of life, Fubara said he recognised and appreciated the critical role that the Muslim community has continued to play in the development of Rivers State, and indeed, Nigeria at large.
The governor charged them to remain unwavering and steadfast in their commitment and positive contributions to advance the development of the state and the country.
“I enjoin you all in the State to remain calm, be patient and continue to do what is right,” the governor added.
He wished the Muslim faithful in the state and across the country a happy Eid-el-Fitr celebration.
