For the third time in a row and with his habitual respect for time and culture of his community, Governor AbdulRahman AbdulRazaq on Wednesday joined the 2023 public commemoration of the birth of the Prophet Muhammad in Ilorin, the state capital.
Seated to the right of Emir of Ilorin Dr Ibrahim Sulu-Gambari and dozens of his chiefs and prominent religious leaders, the Governor attended the event in company of cabinet members and loyalists.
Thousands of Muslims, men and women, attended the Maulid as AbdulRazaq called on the faithful to imbibe “his time-tested values for sincerity of purpose, fairness, compassion to all, constant remembrance of God, and a strong sense of community built on the fear of God and collective good”. “I join the entire Muslim community and people of Kwara State as a whole to celebrate the anniversary of the birth of Prophet Muhammad. May the peace and blessings of Allah be on the Prophet, his households, his companions, and all of us,” the Governor said.
“There is no limitation to how far we can go if we always act as a community of people united by common humanity and interdependence. I urge us to work together as one people joined by one destiny and exemplary values. “Esteemed brothers and sisters, and our leaders, I assure you that our administration will continue to do its best within available resources to serve you in fairness. We will always act in good faith.“We thank His Excellency for his generosity and humility and for always standing by us. We pray Allah to bless and honour you,” chairman of the Kwara State Muslim Council retired Grand Kadi Justice Soliu Mohammed said, congratulating the entire community on the occasion of Maulid.
