In a statement issued by his media assistant in Kano, Gaya described the current situation in the country as a test of citizens’ spiritual resolve and faith.
He urged Muslims to reflect on the deeper significance of Eid-el-Fitr, noting that the festival symbolises sacrifice, obedience to Allah, and compassion for the less privileged.
“Every Muslim finds joy in observing the Ramadan fast, a fundamental obligation in Islam. We should not lose sight of the lessons it teaches: obedience to Allah, sharing our blessings with the needy, and being our brother’s keeper,” he said.
Speaking on the forthcoming general elections, Gaya advised the electorate to vote for selfless leaders committed to national service and the welfare of Nigerians.
He described the elections as a choice between progress and regression, stressing the need for voters to support candidates with verifiable achievements rather than empty promises.
Gaya also urged Nigerians to remain mindful of their civic responsibilities by choosing leaders who demonstrate integrity, sincerity, and dedication.
According to him, the country’s future depends on the electorate exercising their voting rights wisely to elect leaders who understand the responsibilities of public office and approach them with humility, competence, and genuine commitment to service.
He expressed gratitude to Almighty Allah for His mercies and felicitated with the people of Ajingi, Gaya, and Albasu Local Government Areas, as well as Governor Abba Kabir Yusuf and Nigerians at large on the successful completion of the Ramadan fast.
