Muslim faithful converged at the Jos Central Mosque on Friday for a special Jummah prayer session held in honour of Governor Caleb Mutfwang’s second year in office.

The prayers, led by the Chief Imam of the Jos Central Mosque, Sheikh Ghazali Isma’ila Adam, featured reflections on the achievements of the Mutfwang-led administration and calls for sustained peace, unity, and development across Plateau State.

Speaking after the prayers, Sheikh Adam praised the Mutfwang administration for its developmental strides over the past two years. He urged the government to remain focused on policies that promote economic growth and social welfare, while calling on citizens to continue supporting the administration through prayers, cooperation, and unity.

“We congratulate the Government of Plateau State on this milestone. We are happy with what has been achieved so far and we pray for continued success. It is important that poverty is addressed to reduce hardship and promote peace,” the Chief Imam stated.

He emphasized the importance of praying for leaders, likening leadership to a driver on a long journey where the prayers of passengers can determine a safe and successful trip. He also encouraged citizens to remain law-abiding, show tolerance, and foster peaceful coexistence across religious lines.

In a symbolic gesture of unity, Sheikh Adam invited the Muslim Ummah to include their Christian neighbors in the celebrations of the upcoming Eid-el-Kabir.

Representing Governor Mutfwang at the event, Plateau State Commissioner for Commerce and Industry, Hon. Muhammed Salihu Yaro, reiterated the governor’s gratitude to God and appreciation for the unwavering support from the Muslim community.

“We are here to seek God’s mercy for the government and to thank the Ummah for their prayers and support. We believe that with continued peace, Plateau can attain greater heights,” Yaro said.

He highlighted the administration’s achievements across various sectors, including infrastructure, healthcare, agriculture, and transportation, noting that the pace of development under Mutfwang in just two years has surpassed what was achieved in previous administrations.

“Governor Mutfwang is committed to implementing transformative policies that will drive economic development and improve the lives of our people,” Yaro added.

Also in attendance, His Royal Highness, the Emir of Kanam, Mua’zu Muhammed, stressed the significance of the prayer session, saying, “God has given Governor Mutfwang the mantle of leadership, and it is our duty to support him in fulfilling his responsibilities to the people.”

Chairman of Kanam Local Government Council, Hon. Salihu Ayuba Musa, echoed these sentiments, commending the governor for his inclusive leadership style and for respecting local government autonomy by ensuring that subventions were untouched—enabling visible grassroots development.

The Jummah prayer event comes a day after Governor Mutfwang led a Thanksgiving Church service at Polo Field, Jos, on May 29 to mark his second year in office. At the service, he thanked God for His grace and expressed deep appreciation to the people of Plateau State for their support and encouragement.

The governor reiterated his commitment to building a united and prosperous Plateau State, calling for an end to divisions and urging citizens to work together to realize the state’s full potential.

With both Christian and Muslim commemorative events, the two-year anniversary of Governor Mutfwang’s administration is being marked with prayers, gratitude, and a renewed call for unity and collective progress across Plateau State.
