The Katsina State Governor, Malam Dikko Umaru Radda, has congratulated Muslims in Katsina State and across Nigeria on the occasion of the 2026 Maulud Nabbiy, marking the birth of Prophet Muhammad (SAW).

As the country gradually approaches another electioneering period, the Governor called for fervent prayers for Nigeria, stressing the need for peace, unity and stability across communities.
He also appealed to political leaders and their supporters to place the nation above personal interests and conduct their activities with responsibility, tolerance and respect for differing views.
“Maulud reminds us of the exemplary life of Prophet Muhammad (SAW) and his commitment to peace, justice and the welfare of humanity. At this important period in our national life, I urge Muslims to pray for our country and for peaceful political activities as we move towards another election season,” Governor Radda said.
The Governor reaffirmed his administration’s commitment to protecting lives and property, strengthening peaceful coexistence and delivering development that improves the lives of the people of Katsina State.
Governor Radda wished the Muslim Ummah a peaceful and rewarding Maulud celebration.
