The Speaker of Nasarawa State House of Assembly, Alhaji lbrahim Abdullahi, has felicitated with Muslims on the occasion of 2023 Maulud Nabiyy, urging them to assist the needy in the society.

This is contained in a statement issued by his Press Secretary, Mr Jibrin Gwamna, in Lafia on Wednesday.

The speaker described the birthday of prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) as significant and called on the faithful to reflect on his exemplary life style.

He emphasised the need for believers to tolerate and love one another irrespective of their religion and other differences as the major teachings of the prophet to build an egalitarian society.

Abdullahi enjoined Muslims to also use the period to pray fervently for the emerging challenges facing the nation.

“For God to continue to keep the country and the people in peace, progress and as one united nation,” the statement urged.

He also called on Muslims to use the period for sober reflection.

The speaker further appealed for prayers and support for President Bola Tinubu, Gov. Abdullahi Sule and other leaders at various levels to succeed. (NAN)
