Gov. Sheriff Oborevwori of Delta has congratulated Muslims in the state and across Nigeria as they mark of Eid-ul-Mawlid celebration, the birth of the Holy Prophet Muhammad.
This is contained in a statement by his Chief Press Secretary, Mr Festus Ahon, on Friday in Asaba.
He called on Muslims to seize the opportunity of the celebration to reflect deeply on the exemplary life and teachings of the Prophet, which emphasise peace, love, tolerance, humility, and selfless service to humanity.
The governor said that at a time when the nation was striving for greater unity and social cohesion, it has become imperative for Nigerians, regardless of faith, to imbibe these values for the progress and stability of the country.
Oborevwori commended the Muslim community in the state for their steadfast contributions to the growth, peace, and unity of the state.
He assured that his administration would continue to uphold policies that promote religious harmony, inclusiveness, and mutual respect among all faiths.
“As we celebrate Eid-ul-Mawlid, let us be reminded that our strength as a people lies in our diversity and our shared commitment to building a peaceful and prosperous Delta and Nigeria,” he said.
He wished the Muslim faithful a joyful and hitch-free celebration.(NAN)(www.nannews.ng).
