The Senator representing Kaduna Central, Uba Sani, has called for prayers to sustain improvement in security witnessed in recent times, as Muslims mark Eid el-Maulud across Nigeria.
The lawmaker urged the people to devote Eid el-Maulud festivities to praying for the sustenance of successes, which security agencies have been recording against terrorism, even though the country is still grappling with the menace.
Sani, in his Eid-el-Maulud message, prayed to Almighty Allah to give the nation’s leaders and security agencies the wisdom, strength and courage to prosecute the terrorism battle to its end, so that peace and security may return to the country.
The governorship flag bearer also noted that as the 2023 governorship elections draw closer, he has continued to receive endorsements from critical stakeholders across the state, adding that APC is sure of victory to take Kaduna State to greater heights.
He said: “I wish my Muslim brothers and sisters, in Nigeria and across the globe, joyous and spiritually uplifting Eid el-Maulud celebrations. We thank Almighty Allah for making us see this glorious day set aside to celebrate the birth of Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon Him).
“As we mark this day, let us remember, cherish and imbibe virtues Prophet Muhammad exemplified. He exemplified virtues of patience, love, tolerance and perseverance. He devoted his life to building understanding among people while pursuing his faith. He had respect for other people’s faiths. His approach and disposition enhanced the search for peace and security.
“Our dear country is still grappling with insecurity. Enemies of the state and other criminal elements have been carrying out acts of destabilisation and sabotage against our country and its people,” Sani added.
ALSO, Niger State Governor, Abubakar Bello, has congratulated the Muslim Ummah on the celebration of Eid el-Maulud, urging them to use the occasion of the prophet’s birth to reflect on essential lessons of his life and times.
The governor, in a statement signed by his Chief Press Secretary, Mary Berje, noted that the Prophet Muhammad had lived an exemplary life worthy of emulation by all adherents of the religion.
He urged the Muslim Ummah to always show humility, tolerance, gratitude, caring and love to one another as they are important virtues that guarantee peaceful co-existence and progress of any society.
