Hon. Kareem Tajudeen Abisodun, a prominent political leader and philanthropist, has extended warm felicitations to the Muslim faithful in Nigeria and across the globe on the occasion of this year’s Eid-ul-Mawlid, the commemoration of the birth of Prophet Muhammad (SAW).
In a statement made available to journalists, Hon. Abisodun described the celebration as a moment of deep reflection on the life, teachings, and sacrifices of Prophet Muhammad, urging Muslims to emulate the Prophet’s virtues of love, tolerance, peace, justice, and compassion.
He noted that the period provides an opportunity for Nigerians, irrespective of religious or ethnic affiliations, to unite in pursuit of a just and prosperous society. According to him, Nigeria stands at a critical juncture where unity, moral leadership, and commitment to nation-building are urgently needed to overcome prevailing challenges.
“Eid-ul-Mawlid reminds us of the Prophet’s exemplary lifestyle—his humility, patience, selflessness, and devotion to the welfare of mankind. As Muslims and as a nation, we must draw inspiration from these qualities to foster peaceful coexistence and drive the development of our dear country,” Hon. Abisodun stated.
He further called on leaders at all levels to demonstrate sincerity of purpose in governance, prioritizing policies and programs that would address poverty, insecurity, unemployment, and infrastructural deficits. He stressed that the future of Nigeria rests on visionary leadership, collective responsibility, and the prayers of her citizens.
While praying for enduring peace and prosperity in Nigeria, Hon. Abisodun urged Muslims to use the festive period to pray fervently for the stability and development of the nation. He reaffirmed his commitment to supporting initiatives that promote education, youth empowerment, and community development in line with the principles of justice and equity.
“As we celebrate, let us remain steadfast in our prayers for Nigeria and renew our commitment to building a society founded on fairness, equity, and compassion,” he added.
