Governor Uba Sani of Kaduna State has called on citizens to uphold peace, tolerance, and interfaith harmony as Muslims across the world mark Eid-el-Maulud, the commemoration of the birth of Prophet Muhammad (SAW).
In a goodwill message issued on Friday, the Governor said the Prophet’s timeless teachings of compassion, justice, humility, and unity provide enduring lessons for leaders, politicians, and citizens alike. He urged Nigerians to serve with humility, uphold justice, and work for the collective good.
“As we commemorate Eid-el-Maulud, let us reflect on the Prophet’s example by rejecting violence, hatred and division. We must embrace tolerance, peace, and collective progress for the sake of our state and our country,” he said.
Governor Sani stressed that his administration remains committed to building a Kaduna State that embodies these values through massive investment in youth empowerment, quality education, accessible healthcare, economic opportunities, and enduring infrastructure. “These are the building blocks of a united, prosperous and peaceful Kaduna,” he noted.
The Governor further urged religious and political leaders to make the Prophet’s teachings their guiding principle in governance and community service. He said justice, compassion and fairness must be the cornerstones of leadership in order to heal divisions and strengthen national unity.
He also called on the youth to embrace the Prophet’s message of discipline and service, assuring them that his government will continue to expand opportunities for skills development and economic inclusion.
“May this Eid-el-Maulud renew our faith, strengthen our unity, and inspire us all to build a Kaduna State and a Nigeria where no one is left behind,” Governor Sani concluded, while wishing Muslims in Kaduna and across the country a joyous and peaceful celebration.
