“The virtues of self-sacrifice, love, peace, unity, leniency, and kindness to all, which the Islamic faith stands for are critical values in our collective effort to move our state and nation forward.
“Therefore, I urge our Muslim brothers and sisters to continue to uphold these virtues as we collectively build the Enugu State and Nigeria of our dreams,” he said.
The governor also enjoined the people of the state and Nigerians to be hopeful and prayerful amid present socio-economic challenges, saying he was confident that things would turn around for the nation.
He wished the Muslim Ummah a happy and hitch-free Eid-el Fitr celebration, urging them to equally seize the occasion to pray for Enugu State and Nigeria as a whole.
