The Acting Chairman of the African Democratic Congress (ADC) in Gombe State, Danladi Ya’u, has extended heartfelt felicitations to Muslim faithful across Nigeria on the occasion of the 2025 Eid-el-Fitr celebration, marking the end of the holy month of Ramadan.

In a statement released on Sunday in Gombe, Ya’u underscored the importance of Ramadan, highlighting its role in strengthening faith through fasting, prayers, and the recitation of the Holy Qur’an. He urged Muslims to continue embodying the virtues of the holy month, including perseverance, humility, hospitality, and good neighborliness.
