Dauda Lawal, governor of Zamfara, says there is a need for more prayers for peace in his state and Nigeria.
Speaking in a statewide broadcast on Wednesday, Lawal
congratulated Muslims on the celebration of Eid-el-Kabir.
In a statement issued by Sulaiman Idris, his media aide, the
governor expressed gratitude to Allah for witnessing the “historic airlift of
pilgrims from the Gusau international airport”.
“I felicitate with the Muslims on the occasion of Eid
al-Adha 2026,” Lawal said.
“The sacrifice performed during Eid is symbolic of prophet
Ibrahim’s submission and is also part of the Hajj rites for pilgrims.
“I want to use this opportunity to call on the good people
of Zamfara, especially our pilgrims, to remain steadfast in prayers for our
state and Nigeria.”
The governor shared that significant progress is being made
in the fight against insecurity.
“We have made progress in the fight against banditry, which
is why dispersed communities are returning to their homes,” Lawal added.
“Last week, we successfully returned thousands of internally
displaced persons (IDPs) to their ancestral community of Fegin Kanawa Village
in Gusau Local Government Area after over a year of displacement.
“We are committed to ensuring the safe return of all
displaced persons to their homes.
“Such successes are only possible due to our collective
prayers. I urge us to pray more, especially during sacred religious festivals.
“I wish everyone a peaceful Eid celebration.”
The governor also joined thousands of Muslim faithful for
prayer at the Gusau central ground.
