Your Excellency the Executive Governor of Sokoto State Dr Ahmad Aliyu Sokoto FCNA, ACIT.
Assalamu Alaikum Warahmatullahi Ta’ala Wabarakatuh.
On this joyous and blissful occasion of Eid el-Fitr, I stand before you with a heart full of gratitude and peace.
It is both a privilege and a profound honor to be granted this audience to extend our warmest congratulations and heartfelt felicitations to His Excellency and through him, to the entire good people of this historic and revered Caliphate.
Eid el-Fitr is far more than the celebration marking the end of Ramadan. It is a divine reward for a month of fasting, prayer, reflection, and heightened devotion. It is a festival of gratitude to Allah (SWT) for the strength to complete the fast, a day of forgiveness, charity and communal joy. It embodies the core Islamic values of piety, compassion, generosity, and unity.
Your Excellency Sir, we are gathered here today not just as a formality, but as an expression of deep respect for your office and your visionary leadership which is transforming our dear state. It is an undeniable fact that Sokoto, as the Seat of the Caliphate, holds a unique and pivotal position in the spiritual, political and cultural landscape of Nigeria and beyond. The responsibility of steering this state is one that carries immense weight, and we acknowledge the dedication required to uphold its legacy of scholarship, peace, and progressive governance.
This courtesy call in its truest sense is to pay respects to you, to honor you, to share the joy and to collectively thank Almighty Allah for seeing us through the holy month of Ramadan.
At this juncture we wish to pray for your good health, increase wisdom and divine guidance as you navigate the challenges of governance. We pray for peace, stability, and enduring prosperity across Sokoto State and the entire nation.
We also pray to Almighty Allah, the master of the Universe, to give APC successes in the forthcoming 2027 general elections.
We also express our support for initiatives that foster unity, economic growth, and the well-being of all citizens, in line with the spirit of communal responsibility emphasized during Ramadan period.
May the spirit of Eid inspire renewed hope and a collective commitment to building a society where harmony and understanding prevail.
Your Excellency, we thank you once again for this opportunity. We pray that this Eid brings abundant blessings, joy, and peace to your family, your administration, and every household in Sokoto State.
May Allah accept our fasting, our prayers, and our good deeds, Amin.
Your Excellency Barka da Sallah.
Wassalamu Alaikum Warahmatullah.
