Zamfara state governor, Dr. Bello Mohammed Matawalle, has called on Muslims to use the Ramadan Fast period to seek Allah's intervention to end all forms of insecurity in Zamfara state and Nigeria.
Matawalle in a statement by the Director-General, Media and Public Enlightenment and Communications, Malam Yusuf Idris Gusau, congratulated Muslims for witnessing another Ramadan which, he said, will afford them the opportunity to earn more rewards.
Matawalle urged Muslims to pray for a total end to terrorism, armed banditry, kidnapping, cattle rustling, and other crimes bedeviling the state in particular and the nation in general.
The governor also urged the people to use the Ramadan period to repent from all bad acts and other social vices and adhere strictly to the teachings of the noble Prophet Muhammad SAW.
Matawalle appealed to traders and those engaged in selling essential commodities needed during the Fasting period not to increase the prices of their wares, but rather cut down prices so as to benefit from Allah's reward.
The governor assured of his administration's commitment to upholding all the Islamic norms and values according to the teachings of Islam.
He prayed for the successful completion of the Ramadan fast with ease and blessings. NNL.
