The governor said that the true reflection of love, compassion, hardwork, patriotism, sacrifice and selflessness epitomised by the Holy Prophet Mohammed must be the compass of for all Muslims in the state.
He urged all to imbibe the enviable virtues of the Holy Prophet adding that the ceaseless prayers and intercessions of all Muslims were increasingly becoming desirable.
