As Muslims in Nigeria join their counterparts across the world to celebrate Eid-el-Maulud, the birth of Prophet Muhammad (SAW), the Chairman, House of Representatives Committee on Interior, Hon. Abdullahi Aliyu Ahmad has felicitated with the celebrants and enjoined them to use the opportunity to pray for peace and religious tolerance in the country.

In his goodwill message signed by his Special Assistant on Media, Sardauna Francis, Ahmad urged the Muslim faithful to imbibe the spirit of peaceful co-existence, love, honesty, forbearance, generosity, perseverance and sacrifice which are the virtues of the noble Prophet while commemorating his birthday.
