President Bola Tinubu on Sunday congratulated Nigerian Muslims on the occasion of year’s commemoration of the Maulud Nabiy, the birthday of Prophet Muhammad.
Tinubu felicitates with the Muslim faithful in a statement issued by Bayo Onanuga, his Special Adviser, Information and Strategy.
He urged Muslims to use the period for deep reflection and remembrance of the Holy Prophet’s exemplary conduct and noble teachings.
“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,” he said.
The President also called on Muslims to dedicate the Maulud holiday to pray for the country and show empathy and compassion toward one another.
