The Governor appreciated the show of good virtues by Muslims during the Month of Ramadan. Calling on all “…to maintain the good virtues that were inculcated into their minds and exhibited through good behaviour and manners, culminated from the teachings of the religious practice of Ramadan.”
“During our days in the Month of Ramadan it appeared to all how people became more brothers keepers. This and many other decent characters need to be maintained. So that people get overhaul of their general behaviour,” Ganduje added.
He commended people for praying hard for the peace and tranquillity of Kano state in particular and the country in general. Saying that, “We are aware how patriotic our people were, and still are, in praying for the peaceful coexistence in our state and corporate existence of our dear nation.”
