AS NIGERIANS JOIN THEIR COUNTERPARTS ACROSS THE WORLD TO CELEBRATE EID-UL-MAWLID, POLITICAL LEADERS IN THE COUNTRY HAVE BEEN URGED TO FOCUS MORE ON THE PEOPLE.
THE CHRISTIAN ASSOCIATION OF NIGERIA, CAN MADE THE APPEAL IN A STATEMENT RELEASED BY ITS PRESIDENT, ARCHBISHOP DANIEL OKOH, REJOICING WITH THE MUSLIM FAITHFUL ON THE MARKING OF THE YEAR 2025 MAULUD NABIYY.
WISHING ALL MUSLIMS A JOYOUS CELEBRATION, THE CAN PRESIDENT EMPHASIZED THAT EID-UL-MAWLID OFFERS ALL NIGERIANS A MOMENT OF REFLECTION ON THE VALUES OF HUMILITY, COMPASSION, JUSTICE, AND DEVOTION TO GOD, WHICH THE HOLY PROPHET EXEMPLIFIED.
SIMILARLY, THE GOVERNOR OF OSUN STATE, ADEMOLA ADELEKE, URGED MUSLIM UMMAH IN THE STATE TO PRIORITISE PEACEFUL COHABITATION.
HE ALSO USED THE OCCASION TO REITERATE THE COMMITMENT OF HIS GOVERNMENT TO RELIGIOUS HARMONY, WHICH WILL FOSTER ENDURING PEACE AND STABILITY.
