The Gombe State Governor, Muhammadu Yahaya, has charged intending Muslim pilgrims to the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia to fervently pray for the peaceful conduct of the 2023 general election and the overall development of the state.
He noted with concern the inability of Muslims to perform pilgrimage in the last two years due to the COVID-19 pandemic. He commended the entire Muslims for their prayers, which had opened doors for the resumption of observations of one of the key pillars of the Islamic faith.
