Anyi who represents Akpabuyo/Bakassi/Calabar- South Federal Constituency in the House of Representatives called for religious tolerance, urging Nigerians to be their brothers' keepers.
"Every human being whether Christian or Muslim believes in God, a creator. The religion may be different. The mode of practicing may be different, but it is tilted towards one being, which is God", the clergyman said.
"Also, the Muslim society has been very supportive of me right from when I was chairman and they informed me that their former mosque had been demolished and they are trying to erect a new and befitting one."
Anyi also donated to two orphanages at Uwanse and Bateba streets, and the Pope John Paul Home for the aged and needy along Target Street.
