Senator Hope Uzodimma, Governor of Imo State, has launched the 2023 Imo Muslim Pilgrimage for Hajj.
Governor Uzodimma admonished the 200 Muslims in the state heading to Haji to be real ambassadors of the state and to be of good conduct at the Government House Exco Chambers in Owerri.
The governor thanked the state’s Muslim population for their understanding and promised them of continuing peace for everybody.
Some of the recipients took turns praying and thanking the governor for supporting their spiritual success and rejoicing with them.
“I am the only person in Ideato who will go to Haji, sponsored by the State Government,” said one of the speakers.
They added that it has been over 10 years since any administration has ever sponsored the Hajj pilgrimage.
While assuring the governor of their support for his second term bid, they also prayed that God would provide the necessary support the governor needs for his continuation as the next governor of the state come November 11th.
