Senator Sharafadeen Alli has called on Muslims to pray fervently for Nigerians and its leaders as they celebrate Eid-el-Maulud.
He made the call in a statement signed by his Special Adviser on Media, Akeem Abas.
Eid-el-Maulud marks the birth of the Prophet Muhammad (PBUH), a man whose exemplary life embodies peace, love, and kindness towards all, and serves as an enduring guide for all believers.
Alli, the Senate Committee Chairman on INEC and Maye-Balogun of Ibadanland, felicitated Muslim faithful across the nation on the occasion of Eid-el-Maulud.
The lawmaker urged the Muslim Ummah to use the occasion to pray fervently for the nation as well as the leaders toward peace, unity and economic prosperity.
“It is also important for us to use this opportunity to pray for our country and our leaders, that they may be guided aright and take actions that will promote the peace, unity, and progress of our dear nation,” he said.
Alli urged Islamic faithful to reflect on the teachings of the Holy Prophet and imbibe his exemplary qualities of compassion as well as selflessness towards one another.
The lawmaker said such was very important as the country navigates challenging times, including insecurity, economic challenges and social unrest.
Alli pledged to continue championing initiatives as well as policies that would enhance the welfare and development of the people, irrespective of their religion or tribe, as they move towards the path of greatness.
He wished all Muslims a happy Eid-el-Maulud celebration, praying that Almighty Allah bless and crown their efforts with success.
