Uzor Kalu Shower Cash On Igbo Muslim Converts!
Governor Aliyu Wamakko and his Bauchi State
counterpart, Alhaji Isa Yuguda, both gave
N5million each to Igbo natives who converted to
Islam yesterday. Governor Rochas Okorocha of
Imo State and former Governor of Abia State Orji
Uzor Kalu gave N2 million and N1million to the
converts.
The event took place at the National Mosque in
Abuja.
The Chief Imam of the National Mosque, who was
represented at the ceremony, announced the cash
donation. The converts who were all males within
the ages of 25 and 35 years said they accepted
Islam because it is a “truthful, peaceful and
charitable faith.”
“I was attracted to Islam because of the truth it
resonated in me, and I saw the charity of the faith
which all its adherents find peace and solace in,”
said Ibrahim Ukah, formerly Uchenna Ukah and a
younger brother of a fellow convert, Tobechi Ukah,
now Abdullahi Ukah.
The commencement of Friday prayers at the
mosque was unusually late as the converts were
given priority when Islamic rites were
administered on them for 30 minutes.
The 18 men from the South-Eastern part of the
country were led by the NTA Owerri host of
“Islamic calling in Igbo language” Alhaji
Muhammad Kabir Orjiegbulam alongside the Board
of Trustees, Secretary of the Justice Mamman
Nasir Islamic Centre for Peace and Research,
Alhaji Ibrahim Biobo Nlomije.
