In his Eid message, Mohammed, who is also the Executive Chairman of Wase Local Government Area, extended warm greetings to Muslims across the state and the country, describing the occasion as a time for spiritual renewal, reflection and strengthened devotion to the teachings of Islam.

He urged citizens to uphold the virtues of compassion, forgiveness, patience and generosity cultivated during the holy month.
