Governor Uzodimma enjoined the Muslims to take seriously the message of Prophet Mohammed that finds expression in peace, unity, love, sacrifice and fear of God in all their undertakings.
He congratulated them for successfully completing their month long fast and urged them to apply the tenets of their faith and what they learnt during the fasting in all they do.
Governor Uzodimma reminded them that Nigeria craves for their prayers today in the face of security challenges and other problems threatening the unity, peace, love and progress of the country, pointing out that all the faiths owe the country and her leadership a duty to ensure that she lives up to her everyone’s expectations.
