The Northern Governors Forum (NGF) has called on Muslims to be more prayerful for the unity, peace and progress of Nigeria.
The forum chairman and Plateau state governor, Simon Lalong, made the call in a felicitation message as the Muslim Ummah observed the 2021 Eid-el-fitr, making the end of 30-day period of Ramadan fasting.
The message was signed and dated Wednesday by Dr. Makut Macham, the director of press to the governor.
“Although Nigeria is going through troubling times, hope must not be lost because hard times do not last,” the forum stated.
It urged the Muslim Ummah to continue to demonstrate faith in the prayers which were offered especially during the Ramadan fast.
“God did not make a mistake by creating Nigeria with all its diversities and will therefore not allow evil to prevail or destroy the country,” the forum said.
It added that current security situation demands more action from both the government and citizens who must work together to isolate bad elements that are desperate to make Nigeria an unstable entity.
