Lagos Speaker Preaches Love, Peace on Eid-I-Maolud

The Speaker of the Lagos State House of Assembly, Rt. Hon. Mudashiru Ajayi Obasa, has called for increased love and more understanding among Nigerians irrespective of their religious affiliations for a peaceful co-existence and growth of the country.
This was contained in a statement released to celebrate the birth of the Holy Prophet Muhammad (SAW) popularly called Eid-l-Maolud.
The statement was signed by his Chief Press Secretary, Musbau Razak.
Obasa said that the “country will continue to develop and grow if the citizens display love and understanding not only among themselves but also to the government.
“The Prophet was a man of peace and he shared the message of love and peace through the religion of Islam throughout his lifetime. He showed understanding for the various faiths and beliefs in Madinah during his lifetime and he never discriminated against any religion, groups or persons during his life.”
“We should emulate and imbibe these qualities from the Holy Prophet so that our country will continue to grow.”
He also urged Nigerians to show understanding with the government at all levels noting that government is desirous of making life better for the citizens no matter the current challenges it is facing.
“It is a challenging period for us in Nigeria, but this government is equal to the task and desirous of improving the lives of our people. We just need their love, support, prayers and understanding,” he said, as he urged Nigerians to shun violence and desist from any act that can lead to breakdown of law and order.
“The only way you can do this is by sharing love and understanding among yourselves which is the major ingredient for a peaceful co-existence, the main message of Prophet Muhammad and Islam,” he said.
