Borno State Governor, Professor Babagana Umara Zulum, has urged Muslims to intensify prayers in the last ten days of Ramadan, seeking an end to the insecurity plating the state. In a statement while in Saudi Arabia for the Lesser Hajj, Zulum emphasized the need for collective prayers, particularly during Tahajjud, to attract Allah's mercy and blessings.
"We must use this opportunity to renew our faith and beseech Allah to end the protracted conflict," Zulum said. "Let's intensify prayers and supplications, and join forces to confront the common enemy."
The Governor also led a special prayer session in the Holy Land, calling on Christians observing Lent to join in the prayers for peace. "The recent attacks should unite us against the enemy. It's a temporary setback; we shall emerge victorious, insha Allah," he appealed.
Zulum condoled with families who lost loved ones in the recent attacks, reassuring that the government will continue to support security agencies to end insurgency and terrorism. "We will not be deterred; we will emerge stronger and more united," he said.
