Tinubu Calls for Reflection and Kindness on Maulud Nabiy
On Sunday, President Bola Tinubu extended heartfelt congratulations to Nigerian Muslims in celebration of this year’s Maulud Nabiy, the birthday of Prophet Muhammad.
In a statement from Bayo Onanuga, the President’s Special Adviser on Information and Strategy, Tinubu conveyed his best wishes to the Muslim community.
He encouraged Muslims to use this significant occasion for deep reflection on the life and teachings of the Holy Prophet.
“The Maulud is a time for us to ponder the exemplary life of Prophet Muhammad, characterized by purity, selflessness, perseverance, kindness, and compassion,” Tinubu remarked.
“It is important that we strive to embody these virtues in our daily lives.”
The President also urged Muslims to dedicate this Maulud holiday to praying for the nation and fostering empathy and compassion towards one another.
His message emphasized the importance of both spiritual reflection and collective goodwill during this sacred period.
It was reported that former Nigerian president Goodluck Jonathan has allegedly purchased a presidential candidate form for the 2027 elections.
It can be noted that Jonathan served as Nigeria’s president from 2010 to 2015.
This information was revealed by Sani Useni, a special assistant who made the claim. Many reacted to the news, with some expressing interest in seeing Jonathan return to power after staying relatively quiet politically since his administration ended.
However, Jonathan has not yet addressed the public or officially shared any presidential ambition.
The Christian Association of Nigeria (CAN) has reacted to the recent abduction incident in Oyo State.
It can be recalled that schools were attacked by armed men, with some teachers and students reportedly taken. Some people were also killed during the attack.
CAN cried out on behalf of the public, stating “It is intolerable, disgraceful and utterly unacceptable that Nigerian children can no longer sit safely in classrooms without the fear of being kidnapped by armed gangs.”
The organisation also stated that Nigerians are tired of constantly mourning and questioning when something will finally be done to stop the violence.
The Governor of Oyo State, Seyi Makinde, has revealed that seven teachers were abducted following a recent attack on a school in the state.
It was also shared that the number of students taken is still being investigated.
The governor further revealed that some people were killed during the attack and abduction.
He also added “With the pressure on the terrorists and the bandits in the North-West, they will keep moving southward.”
“When you have pressure in one place, we must be prepared on this side to either repel or neutralise any terrorists fleeing the pressure points.”
