AS the world celebrates the birth of Prophet Mohammed, House of Representatives member, Honourable AbdulRaheem Olajide Jimoh, representing Mainland Federal constituency has urged Muslims across the country to show love to one another, just as he congratulated them on the occasion.
Jimoh said this in a statement signed by his Media Aide, Mr Debo Omilani, and made available to newsmen on Monday, urging Muslims to emulate the life of Prophet Mohammed and his principles.
The lawmaker also appealed to Muslim faithful to rededicate their lives to Allah and extend the hands of love to the needy as the country was passing through economic recession.
According to him, “The Prophet Mohammed’s birthday is a moment to love our neighbour, help the needy and also tolerates ourselves in this time of diverse challenges ravaging the world,” urging the Muslim faithful to pray for divine intervention of Allah over the country’s economic challenges.
