Taraba State Governor, Dr. Agbu Kefas, has urged residents of the state to contribute their quota towards the development and progress of Taraba.
The governor made the call on Tuesday in a goodwill message to the Muslim Ummah ahead of this year’s Eid-el-Kabir celebration.
The message was conveyed through his Special Adviser on Media and Digital Communications, Emmanuel Bello.
Kefas appealed to the people to uphold unity and avoid actions capable of creating division along religious lines.
“Let us therefore contribute in any little way we can towards building a Taraba of our choice,” the governor stated.
He noted that Taraba remains the collective heritage of all residents, stressing the need for citizens to work together to promote unity, security, peace, and development across the state.
According to the governor, the Sallah celebration comes at a time when many families are facing economic difficulties and have limited opportunities to spend quality time together. He described the festival as an opportunity for families, friends, and communities to reunite and share love.
Kefas also urged Muslim faithful to continue promoting values that foster peaceful coexistence and national unity.
The governor further cautioned politicians and supporters against violence as political activities intensify ahead of the campaign season.
“Let me also use this opportunity to remind us that this is a campaign year and we must approach partisan politics with a godly spirit, detest violence, and have an open mind and campaign on topical issues rather than slandering others,” he said.
