A former Kaduna State Governor, Senator Ahmed Makarfi, has urged Nigerian leaders to emulate the virtues of Prophet Muhammad (SAW), particularly his commitment to justice, inclusivity, peaceful coexistence and mutual respect.
Makarfi made the call in Kaduna on Tuesday in a goodwill message to Muslims to mark the 1448 Eid-el-Maulud celebration, commemorating the birth of the Holy Prophet Muhammad (SAW).
The former governor, who congratulated the Muslim Ummah and humanity on the occasion, described the birth and mission of the Prophet as a turning point in world history.
He said the annual celebration should go beyond festivities and provide an opportunity for Muslims and other Nigerians to reflect on the teachings and exemplary life of the Prophet.
