The governor of Anambra State, Professor Chukwuma Soludo, has congratulated the Muslim community in Anambra State and across Nigeria on the celebration of this year’s Eid -el Kabir, saying the celebration reminds us of virtues of sacrifice.

In his goodwill message, Governor Soludo recognized the profound significance of the holy festival for Muslims, which commemorates Prophet Ibrahim’s devout faith and obedience to Allah’s command.

According to him, "the celebration reminds us of the virtues of sacrifice, devotion, and submission to divine will that transcend religious boundaries and speak to our common humanity."

Soludo acknowledged the valuable contributions of our 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 our shared values of tolerance, respect, and unity.

"As we celebrate this festival of sacrifice and feasting, I call on 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 governor said.

He wished all Muslim faithful a joyous and blessed Sallah celebration, filled with peace, prosperity, spiritual fulfillment and renewed commitment to a better society for all.
