Senator Ede Dafinone, representing Delta Central Senatorial District, has congratulated Muslims in Nigeria and across the world on the celebration of Eid-ul-Mawlid, urging them to use the season to pray for peace, unity, and progress of the nation.
In his goodwill message, Senator Dafinone described the celebration as an opportunity to reflect on the life, virtues, and teachings of the Holy Prophet Muhammad (Peace Be Upon Him), whose message of peace, compassion, tolerance, and unity remains timeless.
He stated: “Eid-ul-Mawlid is a period of reflection on the life, virtues, and teachings of the Holy Prophet—whose message of peace, compassion, tolerance, and unity remains ever relevant in our time. It is a reminder for all of us, regardless of faith, to embrace humility, kindness, and the spirit of brotherhood in our daily lives.”
The Senator further called on Nigerians to strengthen bonds across ethnic and religious divides.
“I urge our Muslim brothers and sisters in Delta Central, Delta State, and Nigeria to use this season to pray for peace, unity, and progress in our nation. Let us continue to work together across ethnic and religious lines to strengthen the bonds that unite us as one people under God.”
Dafinone also encouraged citizens to show love, extend helping hands to the needy, and promote harmony in their communities.
“In doing so, we honour the Holy Prophet’s legacy and contribute to building a stronger, more united Nigeria,” he added.
He concluded by wishing Muslim faithful a joyous and peaceful celebration:
“May this season bring blessings, peace, and prosperity to our homes, our state, and our dear country.”
