A governorship aspirant of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) in Kaduna State, Hon. Isa Ashiru, has called for continuous prayers to end the security challenges facing the state.

In a message sent yesterday to mark the Id-el Fitr, Ashiru urged Muslims to continue to hold on to the lessons learnt during the Ramadan period.

He said: “It is yet another Id-el Fitr, which marks the end of the holy month of Ramadan, a month in which we, as Muslims, are required to show utmost devotion to the worship of Allah.

“Ramadan provides an opportunity for all Muslims to demonstrate humility, kindness, patience and other virtues that are the basic components of Islamic faith. It is the best period for a deep reflection on the noble teachings of Islam which are meant to bring out the best in all of us.

“It is, therefore, my sincere prayer that Allah has graciously accepted all our acts of Ibadat during the last Ramadan.

“May He also continue to guide and protect us so that we can overcome all the challenges that are threatening to cripple us as individuals and as a country.

“While I congratulate us on this occasion, l also specifically pray to Allah to bring to an end the prevailing security and other challenges in our dear Kaduna State and by extension, Nigeria.

“It is my strong hope that we will continue to live in a Ramadan mood in terms of our relationship with our Creator and fellow human beings.

“We should not allow the lessons we have learnt during the period to desert us. May Allah spare our lives to witness many more Ramadan and Id-el Fitr. I pray for His forgiveness and abundant blessings for all of us.”
