 ON THE OCCASION OF THE 2023 EID-EL-MAULUD  CELEBRATION

ON WEDNESDAY, 27TH  SEPTEMBER, 2023 (12

RABI’UL AWWAL 1445)

 

In the name of Allah, Most Gracious, Most Merciful. All praises are due to Allah the Lord of the Worlds. May His Peace and Blessings be upon His Beloved Prophet (PBUH), His Household and Pious Companions.

 


My fellow citizens of Bauchi State,

Glory be to Allah (SWT) for sparing our lives to witness this year’s Eid-el-Maulud Celebration when we commemorate the birth of the Prophet of Islam, Muhammad (Peace be Upon Him). 

As we celebrate the Eid-el-Maulud, we should remember that the Holy Prophet had during his life time preached peace, honesty, patience,  generosity, humility, sincerity, love for one another and fear of God. It is these virtues that people, irrespective of their religious inclinations are enjoined to imbibe and practise.  

2. We should use the Eid-el-Maulud occasion for sober reflection and self-evaluation to know how well we related with our creator and fellow human beings  during the last one year and make amends where  necessary. At a time like this, I urge all Muslims to pray for peace.  I would also like to call on the good people of Bauchi State to live in peace and harmony with one another inspite of their ethnic, religious or political differences. We should all offer special prayers for peace in our state in particular and the nation in general in the face of the current security challenges in different parts of the country.

3. As you all know, both the Federal and State Governments have taken necessary measures to  cushion the effect of the economic hardship occasioned by the removal of subsidy on petrol. I would like to appeal to you to continue to exercise patience while the palliatives provided by the State and Federal Governments are distributed. I want to assure you that the State Government will not relent in its effort to ensure that the economic hardship is reduced to the barest minimum.

4.Let me use this occasion to reiterate the irrevocable commitment of the Government to the maintenance of law and order. Government has, in collaboration with security agencies, taken all measures to ensure the safety of lives and property of people in the State. I would therefore like to appeal for your continued support and cooperation in order to sustain and improve on existing peaceful atmosphere in the  State. Government would not condone any act that is capable of causing rancour and disorder.  

Any person or group of persons found to be involved in such acts under any guise will be dealt with according to the law.

5.   Finally, while wishing you a happy Eid-el-Maulud Celebration, I pray that the occasion will be observed without hitches.  May the peace and blessings of Allah (SWT) be upon our beloved Prophet  Muhammad (PBUH). May   Allah (SWT) continue to guide and protect us     Amen.

6. Thank you and God bless us all.


Signed
