Umahi, represented by his deputy, Dr Kelechi Igwe, made the appeal while playing host to a delegation of Muslim faithful, who paid him a sallah homage at Government House, Abakaliki, to mark this year’s Eid el-Kabir celebration.
“We as a state and government are in support of President Muhammadu Buhari’s anti-corruption war, we acknowledge that and ask that it should be fought in a way and manner that Nigerians can feel the impact.
“And, we shall continue to pray for his health and success and support him in his anti-corruption war,” he said.
The spokesperson of the Muslim faithful, Alhaji Ibrahim Obia, a lawyer, thanked the governor for his support to Muslims living in the state, especially the peace and security of life of property he has ensured.
