The Minister of the Federal Capital Territory, Malam Muhammad Musa Bello, has felicitated with Muslims in the FCT on the occasion of the Eid- el- Maulud celebrations, urging them to adhere to the cardinal principle of peace upon which the religion of Islam is built.
In his Eid-el-Maulud message to the residents, the minister enjoined Muslim faithful and other residents of the FCT to join Nigerians from across the country to reflect deeply on the role they can play individually and collectively to build a nation of which they can be proud.
As the nation inches closer to increased political activities, the Minister said “we must recognize that the resort to violence or promotion of anarchy has never, and will never resolve our social or political variances”.
“Therefore, there is the need for us to imbibe the true meaning and virtues of sacrifice, patience, tolerance and fellowship in our relationships and dealings with fellow residents and all Nigerians” the Minister added.
Malam Bello then urged residents to always embrace dialogue in settling differences and reject attempts by unpatriotic individuals or groups to incite unrest which he said is always counter-productive.
Speaking on COVID-19, Malam Bello called on residents to be mindful of the disease which he said was still very much in the FCT, and urged them to continue to observe all non-pharmaceutical interventions to prevent its spread.
