“Consequently, I enjoin our brethren to use the occasion as a moment of solemn reflection, charity, and prayer for peace, prosperity, and good governance.
“We should bear in mind the divine lessons of the month as one of the four sacred months of the year when warfare is forbidden. We should, therefore, eschew bitterness, rancor, restiveness, and wanton violence,” the governor stated.
