As Nigerian Muslims join their counterparts across the world to celebrate this year’s Eid-el-Maulud, which commemorates the birth of Holy Prophet Muhammad, Hon Ibrahim Ayokumle Isiaka , have urged them to remain peaceful and love themselves as well as others.
Isiaka who doubled as the chairman house committee on Ecology funds said in a statement made available to Amebo Newspaper NG, that the occasion should remind Muslims and all people of faith of the virtues of peaceful coexistence, love and tolerance as taught and lived by the Holy Prophet.
“Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) set clear examples through his life of piety and fervent worship of Allah for all true Muslims to emulate at all times.
"Doing so is particularly important now when these virtues are required for healing our land and strengthening our bond as humans, people of faith and Nigerians.
“The Federal Government and the National Assembly will continue to work assiduously to create the enabling environment for peaceful coexistence and prosperity in Nigeria,” he stressed
He also enjoined every Nigerian to pray for and continue to support the country’s law enforcement and security forces in their “valiant and patriotic efforts to protect all of us.”
“I, therefore, call on Nigerians to be their brother’s keeper and to join hands so that we can charge together, confronting the many challenges facing us as a nation. It is only by doing so that we can overcome and move our country forward on the path of peace, security, prosperity, and development.”
