Chairman of NAHCON, Malam Jalal Ahmad Arabi, expressed delight in hosting the Imo state governor at the Hajj House. Abuja.
Arabi described Governor Uzodinma as a pillar of support to the Commission and described his interventions in ensuring that intending Muslim pilgrims from his state are able to participate in this year’s Hajj.
In his words, “You have been a pillar of support to us in the Commission through your support in ensuring that Muslims in Imo state are able to participate in the Hajj. You supported us in 2023 and also this year in spite of being of the Christian faith and Imo state being a predominantly Christian state. For us you’re a symbol of peaceful coexistence and unity in the country.”
He presented Governor Hope Uzodinma with a letter of commendation and an award of excellence for his support and promotion of peaceful religious coexistence and unity.
While responding, Governor Uzodinma expressed his sincere appreciation for the honour shown to him and restated his firm belief in peaceful inter-faith coexistence to promote development and prosperity in Imo state and Nigeria as a whole.
