Governor Godwin Obaseki of Edo State has urged Muslims to emulate the good morals, and teachings of tolerance of Prophet Mohammed (S.A.W).
In a statement, Obaseki urged Muslim faithful to continue to show love and good neighbourliness espoused in Islam as they celebrate the birth of Prophet Mohammed.
He urged them to commit themselves to the teachings of the prophet as not just a matter of religious obligation but a means to promote peaceful living in a multicultural society.
According to Obaseki, “this occasion, once again, reminds us all of the virtues of the Prophet, which we should emulate in advancing love, peace and progress of the state and country.
“Muslims constitute a major force for peace and progress wherever they may be, and we are glad that our Muslim brothers and sisters have been an integral part of our march to development in Edo State.”
