 **APGA GREETS MUSLIMS ON EID EL MAULUD**

The National Chairman of the All Progressives Grand Alliance (APGA), Chief Barr. Sylvester Ezeokenwa, has congratulated Muslims across Nigeria on the occasion of this year’s Eid El Maulud celebration. 

He described the event as a period of spiritual reflection, devotion, and unity among the faithful, as it commemorates the birth of the Holy Prophet Muhammad (Peace Be Upon Him).

Chief Ezeokenwa noted that Eid El Maulud offers Nigerians a unique opportunity to reflect on the exemplary life and teachings of the Prophet, especially his message of peace, tolerance, humility, justice, and love for humanity. He urged Muslims to emulate these virtues in their daily lives and in their relationships with fellow citizens.

The APGA National Chairman stressed that the celebration is not only a religious commemoration but also a reminder of the need to strengthen bonds of brotherhood, promote peaceful coexistence, and build a society founded on mutual respect and understanding.

Chief Ezeokenwa further encouraged Muslims to use the period of EId El Maulud to pray fervently for Nigeria, particularly for unity, security, and prosperity. He emphasized that the country requires the collective prayers and efforts of its citizens to overcome current challenges.

He assured Nigerians that APGA remains committed to promoting peace, equity, and justice in the nation’s political landscape. According to him, the values preached by the Prophet align with APGA’s philosophy of inclusiveness, progress, and service to humanity.

The APGA leader also called on political leaders, irrespective of party affiliations, to imbibe the spirit of tolerance, dialogue, and compassion in governance. He said this was necessary to build a Nigeria where all citizens, regardless of religion or ethnicity, feel secure and respected.

Chief Ezeokenwa encouraged Muslim youths in particular to draw inspiration from the Prophet’s life, dedicating themselves to education, moral uprightness, and nation-building. He highlighted the critical role of young people in shaping the country’s future and urged them to remain steadfast in positive values.

The National Chairman also extended his goodwill message to Muslim communities across all states where APGA has strong grassroots presence, reaffirming the party’s solidarity with the faithful as they mark this sacred celebration.

He concluded by wishing Muslims a joyous and peaceful Id el Maulud, praying that the blessings of the season will continue to enrich families, strengthen communities, and bring lasting peace to Nigeria.
