"Let me also use this opportunity to congratulate our Muslim brethren who are in Saudi Arabia performing this year's Hajj, which is one of the five pillars of Islam. I urge them to pray for Edo State and Nigeria, that Allah in His infinite mercy will grant us the grace to be our brothers keeper, so that together we can tackle the challenges confronting us as a people.


"As we pray for favour to celebrate many more in good health, sound mind and absolute peace, may Allah grant us the humility to remember those who need our help", the message added.
