Gov. Oluwarotimi Akeredolu of Ondo State has felicitated Muslims in the state and across the country on the occasion of the Maulud-Un-Nabiyy, the birthday of the Holy Prophet Muhammad.
The felicitation is contained in a statement signed by Mr Richard Olatunde, Chief Press Secretary to the Governor and made available to newsmen on Tuesday in Akure.
Mr Akeredolu, while rejoicing with Muslims in the state, enjoined them to reflect on life of the Holy Prophet and imbibe the lessons of sacrifice, forgiveness and love which he lived for.

“On this auspicious occasion, it is important that we rededicate ourselves to the unity of this country and show love to one another. Only in love we can see ourselves as one and appreciate the uniqueness of our diversity. We must see it as our strength.
“At this time, we must come together with renewed faith to offer ceaseless prayers for the country to surmount the challenges we are faced with.
“Our hope must be rekindled for the sake of our children and the future of our dear country,” the governor said.
