“People wonder why Muslims are fond of the governor, and the reason is that he has treated us well, making us feel accepted in the state,” he said.
Egwu stated that Muslims in the state had resolved to provide security information or reports to the governor and relevant security agencies.
“We will provide such information whenever events or moves that might pose as threats or breaches to security are noticed.
“We will also stop anyone or group attempting to destroy public infrastructure in the state,” he said.
Receiving the delegation, Umahi, represented by the Deputy Governor, Kelechi Igwe, urged Muslims to abide by the resolution to ensure adequate security in the state.
“The resolutions are far-reaching, and the commissioner for information and state orientation should ensure that they receive wide publicity. Resolving to volunteer information in ensuring security in the state is cheering because information is power.
“Relevant authorities in the country could have been nipping the security challenges in the bud if they received information before such occurrence,” he said.
