The Governor of Anambra State, Prof Chukwuma Soludo has described life and teachings of Prophet Muhammad as an enduring wellspring of guidance for society, anchored on compassion, honesty, humility, justice, and service to one’s fellow man.
Soludo in a message by his Chief Press Secretary, Christian Aburime to felicitate with the Muslim Ummah in the State and across Nigeria on the happy occasion of Eid-el-Maulud described the observance of the holiday as a moment of profound spiritual reflection.
According to him, Eid-el-Maulud is not only a commemoration of a birth; but an invitation to imbibe the timeless values that the Prophet lived and taught, such as mercy, truthfulness, tolerance, and love for one another,” the Governor stated.
“As we join our Muslim brothers and sisters in this celebration, I urge all Ndi Anambra, irrespective of faith, to draw inspiration from these virtues in our daily conduct, in our homes, our workplaces, and in the public domain, as we collectively build a more peaceful, just, and prosperous society for all,” he added.
The Governor commended the peaceful coexistence and mutual respect that Muslims and Christians in Anambra State continue to demonstrate towards one another, describing it as a model of unity in diversity for the rest of the country.
He reaffirmed his administration’s commitment to promoting an inclusive state where every citizen, regardless of religious persuasion, can thrive and contribute to the shared vision of a progressive state.
While wishing the Muslim community a blissful, peaceful, and reflective celebration, Soludo prayed that the season would bring refreshed hope, unity, and blessings to families across the state and the nation at large.
