SAPELE, Delta, Felix Anirah Political Platform (FAPP Media) — Hon. (Hi-Chief) Felix Uruemuesiri ANIRAH and his family are saying thank you to essential workers and to Safirians who are doing their part by staying at home this Id el Fitr.
Hon. (Hi-Chief) ANIRAH, in company of his wife Hon. (Chief) Mrs. Eunice Okiemute ANIRAH, Fmr. Leader of the Legislative Arm, Sapele Local Govt. Area, spoke in a writeup posted on the honourable’s Social Media pages Saturday.
“We are thinking of you all and we’re so grateful for every one respecting the stay at home orders and social distancing by our Governor, Sen. (Dr.) Ifeanyi Arthur OKOWA,” Mrs. ANIRAH said.
“And we appreciate all our first responders, health care workers, our grocery workers, everybody that’s keeping essential businesses going and keeping people healthy and safe,” Hi-Chief ANIRAH continued.
Muslims in Sapele are celebrating Id el Fitr differently this year as the coronavirus pandemic continues to threaten Nigeria.
Residents of the state constituency are being told to keep social distancing and avoid parks, beaches and swimming pools this Id el Fitr weekend, a time when Muslim families usually pack them.
As of Friday, there are 7,016 confirmed cases of COVID-19 in Nigeria and 211 people have died, there are 31 confirmed cases in Delta State and 6 people have died. Currently there are 3 confirmed cases in Sapele Local Govt. Area.
Delta health officials said Friday that a month of heeding stay-at-home orders may have reduced the peak size of the outbreak. But the Honourable Member, representing Sapele State Constituency says it’s crucial to keep practicing safe distancing.
He appreciated Safirians for their compliance so far and pray Almighty Allah to protect the Muslims and their neighbors, as they celebrate Id el Fitr (festival of breaking the fast) that marks the end of the month-long dawn-to-sunset fasting of Ramadan.
