The President-General of Ogun State Muslim Council, OMC, Alaiyeluwa Oba Sikiru Kayode Adetona, Awujale and the paramount ruler of Ijebuland has congratulated the Muslim Community and beyond for the 2021 Mawlidun Nabiyy.
Awujale made this call in a press statement signed and issued by Secretary- General Ogun State Muslim Council, OMC, Alh Kamaldeen Akintunde (esq) to commemorate the occasion.
The OMC President-General charged Muslim faithful to embrace the Prophetic way of life, including being faithful, truthful, honest, kind and patriotic in their undertakings for societal growth and development.
Oba Adetona noted that the Mawlidun Nabiyy is coming on the heels of the 61st Anniversary of the nation’s Independence and implored adherents of the faith to be patriotic and remain committed to the cause of nation building.
According to the monarch, the much said ‘Nigeria Project’ requires sacrifice, perseverance, obedience, equity, justice, good neighbourliness and patriotism. He called for attitudinal change, re-orientation and high patriotism on the part of both the nation’s leaders and its citizens.
The OMC President-General equally implored Nigerians claiming to have been wronged to pursue legitimate means in seeking redress and eschew violence in order not to undermine the collective march to progress.
The traditional ruler charged the political class to be above board and avoid any act of omission or commission that can undermine our fast growing democracy.
