Eid-el-Maulud: Gov Buni charges Muslims to pray for peaceful elections
Governor Mai Mala Buni of Yobe on Saturday charged Muslims to use the Eid-el-Maulud occasion to pray for peaceful elections, security and prosperity of Nigeria.
“We should seize the opportunity provided by this occasion to pray for unity and prosperity of our state and dear country,” he said in a statement by his media aide, Mamman Mohammed.
He added, “Similarly, as we commence the 2023 electioneering process, l urge everyone to use this occasion to pray for a peaceful and successful election in 2023.”
The governor said Prophet Muhammad was sent to mankind to preach the worship of Allah, peace and love for one another.
The governor admonished Muslims to emulate the good virtues of the prophet, including honesty, humility, peaceful coexistence and love for one another.
“If we emulate the life of Prophet Muhammad (SAW), the World will be a better place for all,” Mr Buni assured.
He, however, cautioned against using the occasion to engage in acts contrary to the life, character, teachings and practice of the prophet.
The governor wished all a happy, peaceful and memorable Maulud celebration.
Eid-el-Maulud is an Islamic celebration to commemorate the birthday of Prophet Muhammad.
