Eid-ul-Maulud: CAN Calls On The Government To Address Insecurity And Economic Distress

On Monday, September 16, the Christian Association of Nigeria (CAN) called on the government to address the problems of economic hardship and insecurity immediately.

In the midst of commemorating the Prophet Muhammad’s birth on Eid-ul-Maulud, Archbishop Daniel Okoh, President of CAN, made a sincere plea.

A statement issued by the CAN boss said: “On behalf of the Christian Association of Nigeria (CAN), I extend warm greetings to our Muslim brothers and sisters across the nation as you celebrate Eid-ul-Maulud, the birth of the Muslim Prophet Muhammad. This occasion offers us all an opportunity to reflect on the values of peace, compassion, and unity that the Prophet exemplified and to apply these principles in our daily lives.

“As we gather in celebration, let us be reminded of the contemporary realities facing our beloved country. Nigeria is blessed with a rich diversity of cultures and religions, and it is this diversity that strengthens the fabric of our nation. However, we must also acknowledge the challenges of insecurity, economic hardship, and social division that threaten our unity.

“In these trying times, it is imperative that we stand together in solidarity, transcending religious and ethnic barriers. Let us use this celebration to renew our commitment to fostering peace and understanding among all Nigerians. We are stronger when we work together towards common goals, and it is through mutual respect and dialogue that we can build a more harmonious society”.

Okoh urged all religious leaders to continue promoting messages of tolerance and coexistence.

“Let us encourage our communities to engage in acts of kindness and support for one another, particularly for those who are less fortunate.

“As our Muslim brothers and sisters celebrate Eid-ul-Maulud, may the teachings of the Prophet inspire our people to pursue peace and justice, and may God bless Nigeria with prosperity and unity. Once again, I wish all Muslims a joyous and peaceful Eid-ul-Maulud”, he added.

We wish all Muslims a happy and remarkable Eid- el-Maulud celebration.

Live with Purpose, Love with Passion. Remember to be happy

One ❤️❤️❤️
