Borno State Governor, Babagana Umara Zulum, has praised President Bola Ahmed Tinubu and security personnel for the state’s relative calm.
The governor described the religious rites as peaceful after attending the two raka’at Eid prayers around 10 a.m. at Maiduguri’s Ramat Square.
It wasn’t like this in the last five years but we must thank the almighty Allah for giving us relative peace in the state to perform our obligatory functions.
Now, there is relative peace in Borno State, so we remain eternally grateful to the Nigerian president, Bola Ahmed Tinubu; grateful to our gallant officers and civilian JTF/hunters/vigilantes for providing the enabling environment, he said.
He urged residents to keep praying for the restoration of total peace in the state, the Northeast, and the country as a whole.
Shettima Mamman Saleh, the Imam Eudaini of Borno who led the two raka’at prayers, emphasized the importance of sacrifice, which has a deep meaning and significance in Islam, in his sermon.
He urged Muslims to embody the values of sacrifice in their daily lives, sacrificing their desires, ego, and material possessions in order to please Allah and benefit others.
The Shehu of Borno, Alhaji Abubakar Ibn Umar Garbai Elkanemi; former Governor of Borno State, Ali Modu Sheriff; former IGP, Usman Alkali; and Senators Ali Ndume and Mohammed Monguno were among those in attendance.
