Wife of former Lagos State Governor, Sen. Oluremi Tinubu, has admonished Nigerians to use the period of celebration of Maulid Nabiyy, the birth of Prophet Mohammed to reflect on the need for patient and perseverance in the country.
Sen. Oluremi, who is representing Lagos Central Senatorial District, stated this on Thursday ahead of Friday's public holiday to mark the feast of the birth of Prophet Mohammed. ”I celebrate with Muslim faithful in the Lagos Central Senatorial District, Lagos State and Nigeria as a whole on the celebration of the birth of Prophet Mohammed (SAW).
”The birth of the Holy Prophet marks the beginning of the great life of service and teaching which he led. “It is a time that calls for reflection on the purpose of his birth, life, teachings and laid down tenets. ”We must at this time, continue to pray for the peace and prosperity of our country, Nigeria.
”In the light of the recent spotlight on slave trade on the African continent, we must also pray for our brothers and sisters who are being held against their will in these far-away lands. ”I also want to use this medium to encourage those intending to leave Nigeria illegally in search of greener pastures to be patient as Nigeria will be great again,” she said.
