“The Eid-el-Fitri is coming at the end of a one-month-long Ramadan fast which was a period of self-discipline and sacrifice and it calls for solemn reflection on the lessons of the holy life lived by Prophet Mohammed.
“I appeal to politicians to see politics as an avenue to serve and not to be served as is, unfortunately, the case in our setting.
“I call on security agencies in the state and the country at large to be vigilant as they ensure that peace and tranquillity prevail throughout the Sallah celebration,” he added.
