The gesture formed part of his solidarity to the Muslim community as they climax the month of Ramadan with the Eid-Ul-Fitr,the feast of giving alms to the poor and needy.

The MP said there was no difference between Christianity and Islam since they all aim at one common end hence,members of the two religions must see themselves as one.
