Tukur also encouraged Muslims to continue showing love and happiness to their community.
Meanwhile, Yobe State Governor Mai Mala Buni joined hundreds of Muslim faithful at the Yobe Islamic Centre for the two rakaat Eld el-fitir prayers, marking the end of Ramadan fasting for the Islamic calendar year 1446 AH.
