ON THE OCCASION OF THE 2024 EID-EL-MAULUD CELEBRATION
ON SUNDAY, 15TH SEPTEMBER, 2024 (12
RABI’UL AWWAL 1446)
In the name of Allah, Most Gracious, Most Merciful. All praises are due to Allah the Lord of the Worlds. May His Peace and Blessings be upon His Beloved Prophet (PBUH), His Household and Pious Companions.
My fellow citizens of Bauchi State
It is to the glory of Allah (SWT) that we are alive to witness this year’s Eid-el-Maulud Celebration when we commemorate the birth of the Prophet of Islam, Muhammad (Peace be Upon Him). As we celebrate the Eid-el-Maulud, we should remember that the Holy Prophet had during his life time preached peace, honesty, patience, generosity, humility, sincerity, love for one another and fear of God. It is these virtues that people, irrespective of their religious inclinations are enjoined to imbibe and practise.
2.The Eid-el-Maulud should be used for sober reflection and self-evaluation to know how well we related with our creator and fellow human beings during the last one year and make amends where necessary. At a time like this, I urge all Muslims to pray for peace. I would also like to call on the good people of Bauchi State to continue to live in peace and harmony with one another inspite of their ethnic, religious or political differences. We should use the occasion of the Eid-el-Maulud to pray for sustained peace in our State and for peace to be restored to States that currently face security challenges.
3. As a responsive and responsible Government, we are very much worried about the current economic hardship that has made life to the generality of the people of Nigeria extremely difficult. While Government is doing everything possible to mitigate the hardship, I appeal to you all to use the occasion of the Eid-el-Maulud to pray for the intervention of Allah (SWT) to bring an end to this calamity. I also appeal to you to pray to Allah (SWT) to protect our State from the flood disaster that has ravaged some parts of the country, especially Borno State. I wish to extend my heartfelt sympathy to the Government and people of the affected States, especially victims of the flood disaster.
4.Let me use this occasion to reiterate the irrevocable commitment of the Government to the maintenance of law and order. Government would, in collaboration with security agencies, continue to take all measures to ensure the safety of lives and property of people in the State. I would therefore like to appeal for your continued support and cooperation in order to sustain and improve on existing peaceful atmosphere in the State. Government would not condone any act that is capable of causing rancour and disorder. Any person or group of persons found to be involved in such acts under any guise will be dealt with according to the law.
5.Finally, while wishing you a happy Eid-el-Maulud Celebration, I pray that the occasion will be observed without hitches. May the peace and blessings of Allah (SWT) be upon our beloved Prophet Muhammad (PBUH). May Allah (SWT) continue to guide and protect us ,Ameen.
6. Thank you and God bless us all .
