The Adamawa Progressives Elders Council, under the leadership of His Excellency Brigadier General Buba Marwa (Rtd), has issued a robust message of felicitation to the Muslim Ummah in Adamawa State and across Nigeria on the occasion of the Eid-el-Fitr celebrations. Marking the conclusion of the holy month of Ramadan, the Council emphasized the need for the spiritual lessons of piety, sacrifice, and charity to be sustained far beyond the fasting period.
In a statement released through the organization’s media office by the Head of Media and Publicity, Ahmad I. Sajoh, fnipr, the group extended warm greetings to the leaders of the APC in Adamawa State.
Special recognition was given to the National Security Adviser, Mallam Nuhu Ribadu, and His Excellency Governor Ahmadu Umaru Fintiri, alongside the National Vice Chairman (North East) of the APC, the State Chairman, and members of the State Working Committee.
General Marwa noted that while Ramadan was a month of rigorous spiritual exercise, the Council now expects every citizen of Adamawa to embrace a culture of unity and fraternity.
He stressed that the essence of celebrating spiritual milestones like Sallah is to find moments of joy that transcend natural fault lines.
He urged the people to set aside differences and build an enduring bond of unity that promotes the state’s common heritage and shared prosperity.
Addressing the political landscape, General Marwa called on members of the APC in Adamawa to approach the upcoming activities on the INEC timetable with maturity and a spirit of brotherhood. He maintained that the Council’s primary goal remains the pursuit of peace and understanding among all party members and the entire citizenry.
The Council also used the occasion to celebrate a significant political feat: Adamawa State emerging with the second-highest figure nationwide in the recently concluded party e-registration exercise, trailing only Lagos State. General Marwa commended the NSA, the Governor, and the party leadership for this achievement, describing it as a clear affirmation of the confidence Adamawa residents have in the leadership of President Bola Ahmed Tinubu, GCFR.
Concluding the message on behalf of the entire membership, General Marwa prayed for a successful celebration filled with peace and brotherhood. He expressed hope that the season would bring abundant blessings to the land and further rededicate the people to the progress and stability of Adamawa State.
