Amosun shares Goodwill Message, Prays for Peaceful Elections
The governor of Ogun State, Senator Ibikunle Amosun, has congratulated Nigerian muslims on the celebration of the birth of the Holy Prophet Mohammed, urging them to use the holiday to reflect on the state of the nation and learn from the peaceful life and teachings of the Holy Prophet.
The governor released this message via his Senior Special Assistant on Media, Olufunmilayo Wakama, also advising muslims across the country to pray for peace during the 2015 general elections.
“It is only in an atmosphere of peace that we can be joyous, therefore, we must learn to live in peace with one another. The life and teachings of the Holy Prophet typified peace, just as Islam is a religion of peace.
“I urge our people to vote in the right candidates at all levels, setting aside ethnic and religious sentiments. As for us in the All Progressives Congress (APC), we would continue to deliver the dividends of democracy to our people.”
