Amaechi Tasks Moslems On National Unity

Rivers State Governor, Rt. Hon. Chibuike Rotimi Amaechi has called on Nigerians to pursue the path of unity and progress as part of measures to promote economic and cross cultural growth in the nation.

Governor Amaechi said this yesterday in Port Harcourt, in his Salah message to Muslims in the state in the celebration of Eidel-Fitri.

The Governor, who described unity as the best asset Nigerians can bequeath to their children, said the country stands to gain a lot from the unity of purpose and understanding between all sections of the country.

He emphasized the need to be thorough and truthful in taking decisions that involve the generality of Nigerians while assuring that the Rivers State Government is committed to the growth and unity of the country.

“Events such as Salah call for sober reflections as the things we do and say need to be re-assessed especially if such things were not done in good faith”.

The Governor congratulated Muslims on the successful completion of their fasting and prayed that the country benefit from the blessings and aspiration  of Salah.

“It is also pertinent for us to re-dedicate ourselves to the service of the nation and serve with an unrivalled passion as we march towards the attainment of the Seven-Point Agenda of President Umaru Musa Yar’Adua.
