Anambra State Governor, Prof. Chukwuma Soludo, hosted members of the Muslim community from the state’s three senatorial zones for the 2026 Iftar at the Government House, “Light House,” on Saturday, demonstrating a commitment to communal solidarity, inclusivity, and unity.
The gathering provided an opportunity for the governor to break the daily Ramadan fast alongside Muslim leaders. Soludo expressed gratitude for the community’s support during the last governorship election, noting that his administration secured 73 per cent of the votes cast.
