Alhaji Andas expressed his believe in Allah’s grace and mercy that the much dreaded coronavirus will be a thing of the past in the country and Nigeria will come out better and stronger in all ramifications.

While wishing all Muslim faithfuls Happy Ramadan, he enjoined them to continue to support and pray for the success of the administration of Alhaji Yahaya Bello and not to relent in their daily supplications for total eradication of the Coronavirus in the country the entire world.
