The Deputy, Chairman House Committee on Water Resources, Hon. Olubukola Oyewo has enjoined the Muslims to emulate the examples of Prophet Muhammad to create the desired peace and tranquility in the society.
The lawmaker disclosed this in a statement on Thursday in Abuja.
Oyewo added that the examples were needed at this period of national crisis, stressing that the world requires selfless and committed individuals to promote peaceful coexistence among the people of the world.
He described the celebration of this year’s Eid Maulud at the period of social crisis in Nigeria as an opportunity for all and sundry to reflect on human life and embrace peace, dialogue and sacrifice to move the nation forward.
The astute parliamentarian particularly called on all Muslims to use the period of the holiday to pray for harmony, peace and understanding among the people of Nigeria.
He appealed to all Nigerians to see what was happening in the country as one of the bitter experiences which the nation must carefully navigate through by relying on collective efforts.
Oyewo, however, assured members of his Constituency that despite the situation in the country, the government is assiduously working to make life comfortable for all and sundry, acknowledging that people must live together harmoniously and do so under an atmosphere of hope, safety and love for one another.
“I wish all Nigerians particularly Muslim faithfuls a happy and safe celebration, ” he added.
