REPORTER: UCHE NDEKE

The Speaker of the Anambra State House of Assembly, Mr. Somtochukwu Udeze, says the state legislature will continue to support all efforts to promote harmonious co-existence among different tribes in the country.

In a goodwill message to Muslims on the occasion of Eid-el-kabir, Mr. Udeze urged them to pursue peace at all times and shun acts capable of disuniting the country.

The Speaker, who commended Governor Chukwuma Soludo for providing an enabling environment for Muslims in the state to propagate their faith and also earn a living, enjoined them to reciprocate the gesture by giving maximum support to the Soludo led administration.

He called for intensive prayers from the Muslim and Christian faithful for the peace and progress of the country.

Mr. Udeze appealed to Muslim faithful to join hands in fighting insecurity in the country even as they make merry.

The Speaker used the opportunity to stress the need for even distribution of democracy dividends and appointments among the six geopolitical zones of the country.
