Soludo, in a statement signed by his Press Secretary, Christian Aburime said the celebration reminds of the virtues of sacrifice, devotion, and submission to divine will that transcend religious boundaries and speak to common humanity.
The governor acknowledged the valuable contributions of the Muslim brothers and sisters to the socio-economic development of Anambra State, noting that the peaceful co-existence of people of different faiths in the state remains a source of pride and a tribute to the state’s shared values of tolerance, respect, and unity.
“ As we celebrate this festival of sacrifice and feasting, the governor calls upon all Nigerians to reflect on the lessons of Eid Kabir, particularly the importance of selflessness, compassion for the less privileged, and devotion to the common good, values that align perfectly with our administration’s commitment to building a prosperous, inclusive, and harmonious society,” the statement noted.
