From Femi Mustapha, in Kaduna
The Kaduna State Governor, Senator Uba Sani has congratulated the Muslims across the state as they join their counterparts worldwide to mark this year’s Maulud Nabiyy with a message to the faithful to imbibe the teachings and virtues of Prophet Muhammed, (Peace and Blessing Upon Him PBUH).
The Governor made the call at an annual Maulud organized by the Fityanul Islam, held at Kofar Jatau in Zaria local government area of the state today, Monday.
He urged the Muslim faithful to use the occasion of the Holy Prophet’s birthday to deepen love, patience, and perseverance.
According to him, Eid-el-Maulud is a momentous occasion for Muslims worldwide, as it provides an opportunity to reflect upon the life, teachings, and exemplary character of Prophet Muhammad (PBUH).
The Governor noted that the call for Muslims to emulate the good characteristics of Prophet Muhammad, Peace be upon him, had become necessary in view of the way and manner some youths conduct themselves in societies.
He also enjoined them to always be generous to one another to reduce the hardship being faced by the vulnerable in the communities.
The Governor commended the organizers of the Maulud for their untiring prayers to his government and the people of the state and Nigeria at large.
Uba Sani further regretted the level at which some irresponsible citizens have been ridiculing the good image of some Islamic clerics saying that the ugly act should be checked.
While commending security agencies on their efforts to achieve safe communities in the state, Senator Uba assured commitment towards achieving a safe state.
The Annual Maulud has been graced by top government officials, including Islamic clerics from across the country, as well as Islamic school students together and their teachers.
