Muslims and indeed, all Nigerians have been asked to reflect on Prophet Muhammad’s message of love, tolerance, and humility to build a stronger and a united Nigeria regardless of our religious or ethnic backgrounds.
The lawmaker representing Akure North Constituency in the Ondo State House of Assembly, Kolawole Ologede gave the charge in a statement to congratulate Muslim community in his constituency and across Nigeria as they celebrate Eid-el-Maulud, the birth of the Holy Prophet Muhammad (SAW).
The lawmaker said the celebration is a time for reflection on the teachings of the Prophet, particularly the values of peace, unity, and compassion.
He called on all citizens to imbibe these virtues, fostering harmonious coexistence among people of different faiths.
“As we celebrate Eid-el-Maulud, I encourage all Muslims and indeed, all Nigerians, to reflect on the Prophet’s message of love, tolerance, and humility. Our nation stands stronger when we come together in unity, regardless of our religious or ethnic backgrounds,” Ologede said.
He also urged the Muslim community to pray for the peace and prosperity of Ondo State and Nigeria as a whole, particularly at a time when the nation is striving towards progress and development.
“May this celebration bring joy, peace, and divine blessings to all homes, and may we continue to support one another in building a greater and more prosperous Akure North,” Hon. Ologede concluded.
