Muslim faithful have been urged to always pray for peace and unity of the country.

The leader of the Hausa Community in Anambra State, Alhaji Garba Haruna gave the charge during this year’s Eid Al Filtr celebration in Awka.

Speaking after their morning prayer to mark the celebration, Alhaji Haruna who said that the celebration is to mark the end of fasting in the month of Ramadan, urged Muslims in the state and Nigeria at large to continue to show love to one another, be tolerant and pray fervently for the leaders of Nigeria.

The South East Chairman, Miyetti Allah Cattle Breeders Association, Alhaji Gidado Sidiq and Special Assistant to the Governor on Muslims Affairs, Alhaji Musa Bello- Shelling, charged Muslims to use the celebration to show love, eschew anything that will breed rancour and unrest in the county and prayed for Governor Willie Obiano and President Muhammadu Buhari for them to excel in their administrations.
