In a statement in commemoration of Eid-El-Maulud, the governor described the celebration as a time of deep reflection and soul-searching.<\/p>\n

He said, \u201cI join our Muslim brothers and sisters in Edo State in celebrating the birth of Prophet Mohammed as we mark this year\u2019s Eid-El-Maulud. The celebration is a time of deep reflection and soul-searching, especially with the challenges we currently face as a nation.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe Eid-El-Maulud celebration offers us the opportunity to ponder on the importance of peaceful coexistence and tolerance. The Prophet\u2019s message of peace and good neighbourliness should inspire us all to see each other as partners in progress, regardless of religious, ethnic, tribal and political affiliations.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cMuslims constitute a major force for peace and progress wherever they\u2019re and have always upheld the import of the Prophet\u2019s teachings,\u201d he noted.<\/p>\n

Obaseki assured that his administration will remain committed to ensuring the welfare and peaceful coexistence of all residents, adding, \u201cEdo State will continue to consolidate on policies which foster religious harmony among members of different religious groups, as always.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
