President Okhai, in a statement issued by his National Secretary, Mr. Perekeme Odon, noted that the Feast of Eid-el-Maulud is a celebration of love and a time to reflect on the Prophet’s teachings on unity, compassion, and peace.
He enjoined adherents of Islam in the state to always strive to be their brother’s keeper, show practical love, and ensure peaceful co-existence with others.
“On this auspicious moment of the celebration of the Feast of Eid-el-Maulud, I felicitate with my Muslim brothers in Lagos State and across Nigeria.
“As they mark the birth of Prophet Muhammad, it is also a time of reflection on his great ideals and teachings on love, unity, compassion, and peace.
“I implore adherents of the faith to demonstrate practical love and patriotism and ensure peaceful co-existence with others. The principles of good neighbourliness and being a brother’s keeper are best manifested at a time like this.
“DGN remains a home for all. It is a guild where, as stipulated in our Constitution, everyone freely practices their crafts without hindrance or letdown. And our administration has been consistent in encouraging freedom of practice and creativity. Let us eschew every form of violent conduct and continue to maintain the existing peace in the guild."
“May this Eid celebration bring greater prosperity and joy to you all and to our guild.”
