By Nnamdi Nwabuike

Enugu State governor, Dr. Peter Mbah, has urged the Muslim faithful and Nigerians in general to sustain the virtues of unity, peace, and sacrifice that defined the Holy month of Ramadan.

Mbah made the call in his Eid-el-Fitr message to Enugu and Nigerian Muslim Ummah on Thursday.

In a message he personally signed, the governor said, "I extend my warmest greetings to the Muslim Ummah in Enugu State in particular and Nigerians in general as they celebrate the joyous occasion of Eid-el-Fitr, marking the successful completion of the Holy Month of Ramadan.

"The sacred period of Ramadan, defined by sacrifice, discipline, and deep spiritual reflection, typifies the rebirth that we fervently pray for and look forward to as a nation.

"As we mark this special day, may the enduring lessons of brotherhood, compassion, and the shared humanity that prevailed throughout Ramadan usher in a new season of unity and progress in our country.

"May these virtues inspire us to rise above every challenge and strengthen our bonds to work together towards a more peaceful, just, and prosperous Nigeria.

"In Enugu State, we remain committed to building an inclusive society where every citizen can thrive and contribute meaningfully to our shared future irrespective of religious and ethnic backgrounds.

"I pray that this Eid-el-Fitr celebration brings joy to every home, rekindles hope in our hearts, and reinforces our common resolve to build a Nigeria of our dreams."

Mbah wished Nigerians, especially Muslims a happy Eid-el-Fitr.
