From Celestine Ihejirika, Jalingo
Taraba State Governor, Dr. Agbu Kefas, has called on the Muslim Ummah in the state to regard the end of the 2026 holy month of Ramadan as a period for deep sober reflection.
The governor made the call in his Sallah message to the people of the state, congratulating Muslims on the successful completion of the fasting period and the peaceful conduct recorded throughout the season.
In a press release made available to newsmen in Jalingo on Friday through his Special Adviser on Media and Digital Communication, Hon. Emmanuel Bello, Gov. Kefas described the Ramadan period as one marked by deep reflection, expressing hope that Allah would answer all prayers and supplications offered during the period.
“As you celebrate today, let us embrace and promote the principles that unite us rather than those who seek to divide us along religious lines.
“Taraba State is the only state we have, and we have a common responsibility to ensure its unity, security, peace, and development. Let us therefore contribute in any little way we can towards building a Taraba of our choice.
“Let me also use this opportunity to remind us that this is campaign year and we must approach partisans’ politics with a Godly spirit, detest violence, and have an open mind and campaign on topical issues rather than slandering others.
“Once again, I sincerely join you in celebrating this great day and pray that we would have a hitch free celebration in moderation, and share the little we have with other who do not have, in the spirit of oneness,” he said.
