Africa-Press – Nigeria. <\/strong><\/span>Mr Peter Obi, the 2023 presidential candidate of the Labour Party (LP), has felicitated the Muslim faithful as they celebrate the birthday of the Holy Prophet Muhammad (PBUH).<\/p>\n

Obi, also a former Anambra State Governor, said this in a congratulatory message in Lagos on Wednesday.<\/p>\n

\u201cI heartily felicitate all the Muslim faithful in Nigeria as they celebrate Eid-El Maulud to honour the birth of the Holy Prophet Muhammad.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe ceremony once again provides us with an opportunity for sober reflections as we seek the prophet\u2019s intercessions for divine intervention on the many challenges facing our nation on all fronts.<\/p>\n

\u201cNigeria has continued to contend with many challenges, some of which are obvious disunity among the people, extreme poverty, a high rate of unemployment, and a high level of insecurity,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

Obi urged Muslims to pray for lasting peace in the nation and in keeping with the Holy Prophet\u2019s teachings.<\/p>\n

The presidential candidate urged them to continually extend brotherly love to their countrymen and women, especially the poor, in their midst, irrespective of their tribe or religious beliefs.<\/p>\n

He wished all the Muslim faithful a happy Eid el Maulud celebration.<\/p>\n
