Niger State Governor, Abubakar Sani Bello, and his Osun State counterpart, Mr Adegboyega Oyetola, have urged Muslim Ummah in Nigeria to reflect deeply over the unique conduct and lifestyle of Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) as they join their counterparts across the world to mark this year’s Eid-el Maulud.
Oyetola in a statement released by his Chief Press Secretary, Ismail Omipidan, enjoined the Muslim faithful to use the opportunity of this celebration to reflect on the lessons and teachings of the prophet whom he said led a life of service to Allah and humanity.
Oyetola also urged them to emulate Prophet Muhammad’s shining virtues of love, compassion, tolerance and promotion of peaceful co-existence, noting that if they do this, the society will be much better.
He also called on Muslims in Osun and all Nigerians to use this occasion to pray for the peace, stability, progress and development of Osun in particular and the country in general.
Bello who is also the chairman of North Central Governors Forum (NCGF) said imbibing the spirit of love, patience, perseverance, humility, honesty, generosity and above all putting others first would guarantee peace, unity and Nigeria would be a better place to live in.
Governor Bello explained that the life of Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) from birth to his death is a great lesson hence the Holy Qur’an which remains the main source of truth and knowledge in Islam was revealed through him while his teachings help humanity to become the best possible servants of Allah as well as a panacea to the challenges confronting mankind.
“I join Muslim faithful in celebrating the messenger of Allah through whom the Holy Qur’an was revealed to mankind. Indeed, from the birth of the Holy Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) to his death should always serve as an inspiration to Muslim Ummah and his piety as a model for all of us,” he stated.
