Governor of Zamfara State Dauda Lawal has called for more prayers for peace in the State and Nigeria. The governor, in a statewide broadcast on Wednesday, extended his felicitations to Muslims on the occasion of Eid al-Adha.
Eid al-Adha, which is celebrated annually by Muslims around the world on the 10th of Dhulhijjah, is a festival of sacrifice. It is a festival that honours the obedience and devotion of Prophet Ibrahim (A.S.) to Allah (SWT).
In his message to the people of Zamfara, Governor Lawal expressed gratitude to Allah for witnessing the historic airlift of pilgrims from Gusau International Airport.
“I felicitate with the Muslims on the occasion of Eid al-Adha 2026. The sacrifice performed during Eid is symbolic of Prophet Ibrahim’s submission and is also part of the Hajj rites for pilgrims.
“I want to use this opportunity to call on the good people of Zamfara, especially our pilgrims, to remain steadfast in prayers for our state and Nigeria.
