In celebration of the end of Ramadan, Governor Chukwuma Soludo has extended his greetings to Muslims in Anambra and throughout Nigeria. Soludo’s Press Secretary, Mr. Christian Aburime, issued a statement on the governor’s behalf, urging all Nigerians to live in peace, love, and harmony with one another. Despite the country’s difficulties and economic hardships, Soludo encouraged Nigerians to maintain hope and pray for the nation’s prosperity.

Furthermore, Soludo acknowledged that Ramadan was a time of sacrifice and self-discipline. As a result, he called on Muslims to celebrate the occasion with modesty and to remember those who are less fortunate among them.

“The holy month of Ramadan, no doubt, has drawn you closer to the Almighty Allah.

“The period is characterised by discipline, humility and love for fellow men and women. I urge you not to depart from these noble principles.

“Let the teachings of the holy month define your future relationship with other citizens. I urge you not to lose hope in the country, irrespective of the difficulties and economic challenges the country is currently facing,” he said.

Soludo urged leaders in Nigeria, regardless of their religious beliefs, to learn from the teachings of Ramadan and prioritize justice, equity, and good governance for all citizens.

According to him, “as leaders, we must realise that we will account of our stewardship to God in the fullness of time.

“I call for peace among the component parts of the country, because without peace, no meaningful development can take place,” he said. (NAN)
