The Speaker of the Bauchi State House of Assembly, Rt. Hon. Abubakar Y. Suleiman, has called on Muslim faithful in Bauchi and beyond to uphold the virtues of forgiveness, unity, and brotherhood as they celebrate Eid-El Fitr.
In a Sallah message, the Speaker emphasized that Eid-El Fitr is not just a time for celebration, but also a period for sober reflection, reconnecting with relatives, and upholding the valuable lessons learned during Ramadan. "Eid is a time for us to come together, to strengthen our bonds, and to promote peace and harmony in our communities," he said.
Abubakar Y. Suleiman also stressed the importance of letting go of grievances, rejecting violence, and steering clear of tribalism despite the challenges facing the country. "We must prioritize the nation's interests and work towards overcoming the current issues of inflation, insecurity, unemployment, youth restiveness, and corruption," he urged.
The Speaker commended the Bauchi State government under the leadership of Senator Bala Mohammed Abdulkadir and urged the people to continue supporting and praying for the Governor as he works towards restoring the state's lost glory. He also appreciated the fatherly roles of the Emirs, acknowledging their efforts in preserving cultural heritage, fostering unity, and promoting skills acquisition.
As Muslims celebrate Eid-El Fitr, Abubakar Y. Suleiman reminded them that the dedication and steadfastness shown during Ramadan should be sustained. "We must extend a helping hand to those in dire need, irrespective of faith, region, or ethnicity, and always prioritize the nation's interests," he advised.
