Lafia — Nasarawa State Governor Aliyu Akwe Doma has called on Muslims to live in peace with one another, saying they must use the Eid-el-Kabir period to reflect on the virtues of love, harmony and peaceful co-existence.
The governor who made the call in a statement yesterday called on Muslims to follow the teachings of Prophet Mohammed at all times. Governor Doma also prayed for Muslims who are currently performing the holy pilgrimage in Saudi Arabia, asking Allah to accept their hajj and reward them.
"It is also my prayer that Allah grants them journey mercies as they return home at the end of the pilgrimage", he said. The governor advised road users to be cautious, saying the roads were always busy during festive periods. "Let me therefore call on all road users to ensure that they obey traffic rules to avoid unnecessary accidents," he said.
