In this spirit of unity, Governor Soludo called upon the Muslim faithful to continue their support and prayers for the Anambra State government and Nigeria in order to advance the collective progress, security and the well-being of every citizen.
“As our Muslim brothers and sisters observe this sacred event through acts of charity and communal prayers, it is a time for all of us to reflect on these universal values that bind humanity together,” he said.
Also, the Speaker of Anambra State House of Assembly, Rt. Hon. Somtochukwu Udeze has called on leaders at different levels to serve with uttermost sense of responsibility and fear of God irrespective of their religious affiliations.
