The Governor of Anambra State, Chukwuma Soludo, has congratulated the Muslim community in Anambra State and across Nigeria on the celebration of 2025 Eid-el-Kabir.

In expressing his goodwill, 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’s goodwill message was contained in a press statement released on Friday by his Press Secretary, Christian Aburime.

He said the celebration reminds the people of the virtues of sacrifice, devotion, and submission to divine will that transcend religious boundaries and speak to our common humanity.

He called 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 and values that align perfectly with his administration’s commitment to building a prosperous, inclusive, and harmonious society.

The statement read, “The governor also acknowledges 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 our 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, 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.”
