2023 Eid-El-Fitr: Mutfwang calls for Prayers for Plateau, Nigeria as May 29th Egdes closer

The Governor-Elect of Plateau State, His Excellency, Barrister Caleb Mutfwang has called for prayer for Plateau State and Nigeria at large. His call was contained in a felicitation message sent to Muslims across Plateau State and Nigeria on Friday 21st April, 2023 on the occasion of the 2023 Eid-El-Fitr Celebration.

In his own words, the Governor-Elect on behalf of himself and his Deputy Governor-Elect Mrs Josephine Piyo stated that “The 2023 Ramadan and Eid el-Fitr are particularly of great significance because they have come within our nation’s political transition period. In just about a month away, a new president, state Governors, National Assembly as well as State legislators will be sworn into office in Nigeria’s 24 years of unbroken Democratic journey.”

He appealed that “We therefore make this passionate plea to you: heighten your prayers for our country and Plateau State so that all may go well across the entire nation on May 29, 2023 and hereafter.”

“In addition, we plead with all citizens to re-commit themselves to peaceful neigbourliness. Our communities need peace and secure environments to concentrate on their farming and business activities..”. Part of the message read.

The Governor-Elect stressed that “Without peace and security, our communities may be driven into poverty and every form of deprivation.”

“As the incoming administration, we commit ourselves to offering quality leadership that will unite the people and work hand in hand with them, security agencies as well as people and institutions of goodwill to secure Plateau.” the message concluded.

The Governor-Elect thereafter wished the Muslim Ummah a very refreshing celebration.
