Former Military Head of State, Gen Abdulsalami Abubakar
(retd) has called on Nigerians, irrespective of ethnic and religious
inclinations, to give peace a chance to enhance the rapid development of the
country.
Abdulsalami stated this after observing the two-Rakaat
prayer at the Eid praying ground in Minna.
He argued: “Peace is the prerequisite for any meaningful
development without which, the much-needed quest for Nigeria’s economic and
political development would continue to elude us.”
The elder statesman urged Nigerians to support the incoming
administration to facilitate the growth and development of the country.
He also advised the Muslim faithful to imbibe the tenets of
Islam and put into practice what they have learnt during Ramadan.
Former Niger State governor, Dr Muazu Babangida Aliyu in his
remarks charged wealthy Muslims in society to continue to support the less
privileged and alleviate their suffering.
