President Tinubu Congratulates Muslims On Eid Maulud

President Bola Tinubu has congratulated Nigerian Muslims on this year’s commemoration of the Maulud Nabiy, the birthday of Prophet Muhammad.

Mr Tinubu urged Muslims to use the period for deep reflection and remembrance of the Holy Prophet’s exemplary conduct and noble teachings.

Bayo Onanuga, the president’s special adviser, Information and Strategy, made this known in a statement on Sunday in Abuja.

“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.

Mr Tinubu also urged the Muslim faithful to dedicate the Maulud holiday to pray for the country and show empathy and compassion toward one another.

The News Agency of Nigeria reports that Olubunmi Tunji-Ojo, minister of interior, had on Friday declared Monday as public holiday to mark this year’s Eid Maulud celebration.
