Eid-ul-Maulud: Reduce hardship – CAN tells Nigerian leaders
The Christian Association of Nigeria, CAN, has once again urged Nigerian leaders to embrace justice, reduce citizens’ hardship and strengthen unity for lasting prosperity in the country .
CAN President, Archbishop Daniel Okoh, made this appeal on Friday while felicitating with Muslims across the country on the celebration of Eid-ul-Maulud.
DAILY POST reports that Eid-ul-Maulud is used to commemorate the birth of Prophet Muhammad.
Archbishop Okoh stated that the values embodied by the Prophet were essential virtues that transcend religious boundaries.
“Eid-ul-Maulud offers Nigerians a moment of reflection on the values of humility, compassion, justice and devotion to God which the Prophet exemplified.
“The values transcend religious boundaries and point us towards building a society anchored on peace, fairness and mutual respect,” Okoh said.
The cleric, however, warned that Nigeria was at a turning point, urging leaders to show greater accountability and compassion in addressing the nation’s challenges.
