Eid-ul-Fitr: Ortom call on Nigerians to pray for peace, security of nation

As Muslims celebrate this year’s Eid-ul-Fitr, Governor Samuel Ortom calls for sustained prayers to end insecurity in parts of the country.

The Governor believes that with prayers and commitment on the part of government and the people, the wave of killings, kidnappings, herdsmen attacks and banditry will be surmounted.

He says the peace, security and unity of the country must be placed above personal and sectional interests, as keeping Nigeria safe and united is a task for all its citizens.

The Governor urges Muslims in the state to promote the values and lessons of Ramadan such as piety, generosity, peaceful coexistence and justice.

He acknowledges and appreciates the prayers made by the Muslim community any time the state is confronted by challenges.

Governor Ortom assures Benue people that the security of lives and property will remain the priority of his administration.

He wishes all Muslims peaceful Eid-ul-Fitr celebrations.
