Taraba state governor, Darius Ishaku has urged Muslim Ummah to sustain intercessory prayers for the country against the COVID-19 global pandemic even after Ramadan.

Ishaku in a goodwill message to Muslim faithful at the climax of the Ramadan season applauded them for their sacrifice all through the holy month amidst a global pandemic.

In a statement by his Special Adviser on Media and Publicity, Bala Dan Abu, Ishaku expressed sympathy with the Ummah who, he said, must have found the Ramadan fasting of 2020 particularly difficult because of the ravaging effect of the CoronaVirus across the globe.
