President Bola Tinubu has congratulated Nigerian Muslims on the commemoration of Eid Maulud, the birthday of Prophet Muhammad.
“As we mark the Maulud, we should all reflect on the life lived by Prophet Muhammad, exemplified by purity, selflessness, perseverance, kindness, and compassion. We must endeavour to imbibe those virtues,” Tinubu said.
The President, in a statement issued by his Special Adviser on Information and Strategy, Bayo Onanuga, urged Muslims to use the period for deep reflection and remembrance of the Holy Prophet’s exemplary conduct and noble teachings.
“I urge you all to dedicate this Maulud holiday to pray for our country, and show empathy and compassion towards one another,” Tinubu added.
Tinubu’s message emphasized the importance of unity, kindness, and compassion, values embodied by Prophet Muhammad’s teachings.
“Let us strive to make Nigeria a better place for all, regardless of our differences,” he said.
The President’s goodwill message was seen as a call to action for Nigerians to come together and work towards a more harmonious and prosperous nation.
