his Special Adviser on Media and Publicity Bala Dan Abu who praised Allah for the peace prevailing throughout the state and which has added glamour to the celebration.

He thanked Muslims in the state for supporting his administration with prayers all through its eight years in the saddle without which government would not have succeeded as much as it did in transforming the state for the greater good of the people.
