Kano State Governor, Abba Yusuf, has urged Muslims to emulate the exemplary life and teachings of Prophet Muhammad (SAW) by promoting peace, justice, compassion, honesty and tolerance in their daily lives.

Yusuf made the call in a Maulud message to Muslims across Kano State and Nigeria to commemorate the birth of Prophet Muhammad (SAW).

This was contained in a statement issued on Tuesday by the governor’s spokesman, Sunusi Dawakin-Tofa.

The governor urged the Muslim faithful to use the occasion to reflect on the life and teachings of the Prophet, particularly his commitment to peaceful coexistence, justice and compassion.
