Maulud: Gov Mbah urges Christians, Muslims to imitate Prophet Muhammad

Governor Peter Mbah has urged Nigerians to learn to coexist peacefully and take inspiration from the life of Prophet Muhammad.
He made the call in his Eid-el-Maulud message issued by his spokesman, Dan Nwomeh, on Wednesday in Enugu.
The governor congratulated the Muslim faithful as they celebrated the prophet’s birthday.
As the prophet did, he urged Muslims to display humility, empathy, and sympathy for the poor and needy.
Mr Mbah further urged the populace to embrace the spirit of patriotism by assisting local and national government initiatives.
“As we celebrate the birth of the Holy Prophet Muhammad, let me implore our people to take inspiration from his life and practise the virtues of peace, humility, selfless sacrifice, devotion, love of neighbours, and support for government at all levels,” stated the Enugu governor.
Mr Mbah added, “In a time like this in the history of our nation, there is much we can learn from the prophet’s life that will act as a catalyst for nation-building and national growth. We owe it to ourselves to always uphold the law.”
The governor added, “As a state, we will continue to defend our people and residents, guarantee that they live in a safe environment, and make the ultimate sacrifice of escorting whatever unlawful activity there may be out of the state.
“We are wasting no time in providing the necessary amenities for our people to enjoy a decent standard of living.”
