The member representing Delta Central Senatorial District in the National Assembly, Distinguished Senator Ede Dafinone has called on all Nigerians to embrace peace, love and unity as the Muslim faithful celebrate this year’s Eid-ul-Mawlid to mark the birth of Prophet Muhammad (SAW).
In a goodwill message contained in a release issued by him, Senator Dafinone congratulated the Muslim Ummah in Delta State, Nigeria and the world over, on the occasion of the celebration of the birth of Holy Prophet Muhammad (SAW).
He noted that the occasion should be used to reflect on the life and teachings of Prophet Muhammad, stressing that his message of peace, compassion, tolerance and unity are vital towards the building of a stronger Nigeria.
“I urge our Muslim brothers and sisters in Delta Central, Delta State, and Nigeria to use this season to pray for peace, unity, and progress in our nation. Let us continue to work together across ethnic and religious lines to strengthen the bonds that unite us as one people under God.
“Eid-ul-Mawlid is a period of reflection on the life, virtues, and teachings of the Holy Prophet—whose message of peace, compassion, tolerance, and unity remains ever relevant in our time. It is a reminder for all of us, regardless of faith, to embrace humility, kindness, and the spirit of brotherhood in our daily lives.
“On this special day, I also call on all Nigerians to show love to one another, extend a helping hand to the needy, and promote harmony in our communities. In doing so, we honour the Holy Prophet’s legacy and contribute to building a stronger, more united Nigeria”, Senator Dafinone said.
While wishing all Muslim faithful a happy celebration, the national lawmaker prayed for “blessings, peace, and prosperity to our homes, our state, and our dear country,”.
