Ahlussuna Wal-Jama’Ah Muslims on Sunday prayed for unity and love as they celebrated Eid Ul-Ahda, the festival of sacrifice.

He urged Muslims to help their neighbours, who are in need, distress and seek ways to lessen the suffering of others.
Alhaji Isaah called on Muslims to live in harmony, live in peace, share what they have with the needy in line with the teaching of the Quoran.
‘Our theme for this celebration is not limited to sacrifice but also for the unity of mankind, this is very significant because it is the actual manifestation of the unity of Muslims,’ he told fellow Muslims.

arty (NPP) for the December 7, elections.
Delivering his speech during the prayers of Eid al-Ahda, the MCE said the vision of the Flagbearer was to develop more infrastructure in the country to ensure human resource potentials were empowered.
