Sunday, November 23, 2025 - The governor of Borno state, Babagana Zulum, has declared Monday, November 24, as a day of fasting and prayer for peace and prosperity in the state and across Nigeria.
The governor
made the declaration in a statewide broadcast delivered today November 22.
In his
address, the governor described himself as “not just your governor but a fellow
citizen with a profound sense of patriotism” and urged unity in sustaining
peace.
“For the past 15 years, Borno State has been in the
global spotlight owing to the Boko Haram insurgency. This affected every
segment of our society, displacing millions of people and disrupting
livelihoods,” he said.
Governor
Zulum commended the resilience of the Borno people and their support for
security agencies.
“By the will of God, we were able to overcome those
harrowing days of insurgency by uniting as one, settling aside differences of
ethnicity, religion and sectionalism. We rallied behind our armed forces and
other security agencies to confront the common enemy, whose aim was to
destabilise our state, the Northeast and the nation as a whole,” he added.
The governor
called on all residents, regardless of faith, to participate in the day of
fasting and prayer.
“I hereby declare Monday, 24th November 2025, as a
statewide day of fasting and prayer for the restoration of peace in Borno State
and the country in general. On this day, I call upon every resident of Borno
State, regardless of faith, to join in prayer for the past lasting peace and
prosperity of our beloved state and Nigeria. Consequently, let us therefore
devote ourselves to constant prayers, seeking Almighty God’s mercy''he said
