Eid el Maulud: PDP governors urge Nigerians on brotherhood, unity

The Peoples Democratic Party Governors’ Forum, has urged Nigerians to use Eid el Maulud to strengthen brotherhood, promote understanding, and foster harmony.

The Chairman of the Forum, Gov. Bala Mohammed of Bauchi State, made the call in a statement issued by the forum’s Director General, Dr Emmanuel Agbo, in Abuja on Friday.

Mohammed urged Nigerians to reflect on the birth of Prophet Muhammad, whose life and teachings continued to illuminate the path of compassion, justice, and unity for millions around the world.

“His message of peace, tolerance, and service to humanity resonates deeply across all faiths and cultures.

“As we reflect on his legacy, may we be inspired to strengthen the bonds of brotherhood, promote understanding, and work together toward a more harmonious society.”

He urged government to urgently address insecurity, hunger, poverty and unemployment.

“Let this day be a reminder of the values we should uphold and share — public service with accountability, kindness without expectation, humility, and the pursuit of truth to rebuild the faith of our citizens in our country.”

He expressed the governors’ warmest greetings and heartfelt wishes to the Muslims in Nigeria and indeed globally on this year’s Eid-el-Maulud,

“May your celebrations be filled with joy, prayer, and meaningful connection with loved ones,” Mohammed said.
