The Deputy Senate President, Senator Barau Jibrin, has urged fellow Muslims in the Country to emulate the virtues of Prophet Muhammad (Peace Be Upon Him).
Senator Barau, in a Sallah message which was released by his Special Adviser on Media and Publicity, Ismail Mudashir, and made available to journalists in Abuja, described the birthday of Prophet Muhammad (SAW), as noble and a role model to all.
“We celebrate the birthday of our noble Prophet Muhammad (SAW), let us reflect on his virtues and teachings and follow his examples in our daily activities.
“Let us imbibe the lessons of compassion, peace and support for one another as preached by our noble Prophet,’’ he said.
He however, reiterated the National Assembly’s commitment to continue to enact the necessary legislation that will support President Bola Ahmed Tinubu in tackling the country’s challenges.
Senator Barau, who is also the First Deputy Speaker of the ECOWAS Parliament, urged the Muslim community and all Nigerians to continue to pray for peace, stability and prosperity in the country, stressing that with unity, the challenges the nation faces can be overcome.
Earlier at the weekend, the Federal Government has declared Monday, 16th September, as a public holiday in commemoration of the birthday of the Holy Prophet Muhammad.
