The Governor of Anambra State, Professor Chukwuma Charles Soludo, has congratulated the Muslim Community in Anambra State and across Nigeria on the celebration of this year’s Eid Kabir (Eid al-Adha).
In expressing his goodwill, signed by the Press Secretary to the Governor, Mr Christian Aburime, Governor Soludo recognised the profound significance of this holy festival for Muslims, which commemorates Prophet Ibrahim’s devout faith and obedience to Allah’s command. The Governor said the celebration should be a reminder of the virtues of sacrifice, devotion, and submission to divine will that transcended religious boundaries and spoke about shared humanity.
The release said the Governor acknowledged the valuable contributions of 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 remained a source of pride and a tribute to 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.
‘Therefore, Governor Soludo wishes all Muslim faithful in Anambra State and Nigeria a joyous and blessed Eid Kabir celebration, filled with peace, prosperity, spiritual fulfillment and renewed commitment to a better society for all,’ Soludo said in the release.
