A member of Ogun state house of Assembly, representing Ijebu North East Constituency, Hon. Fasuwa Johnson has urged for tolerance and peaceful coexistence among Nigerians in the spirit of Eid-El-Maulud celebrations.

In a statement in commemoration of Eid-El-Maulud, Fasuwa described the celebration as a time of deep reflection and soul-searching.

He said, “I join our Muslim brothers and sisters in Edo State in celebrating the birth of Prophet Mohammed as we mark this year’s Eid-El-Maulud. The celebration is a time of deep reflection and soul-searching, especially with the challenges we currently face as a nation.

"The Eid-El-Maulud celebration offers us the opportunity to ponder on the importance of peaceful coexistence and tolerance. The Prophet’s message of peace and good neighbourliness should inspire us all to see each other as partners in progress, regardless of religious, ethnic, tribal and political affiliations.”

“Muslims constitute a major force for peace and progress wherever they’re and have always upheld the import of the Prophet’s teachings,” he noted.

He therefore called on the people of Ogun  state to continue to pray for  governor Dapo  Abiodun to take the state to a greater height.
