He said the Prophet’s enduring messages of peace, compassion, patience, tolerance, justice and love for humanity should continue to guide the conduct of individuals and communities towards building a peaceful, united and progressive society.

“As we celebrate Eid-ul-Maulud, may the life, humility, compassion and peace exemplified by Prophet Muhammad (SAW) inspire us to become better people and contribute to building a kinder, more united and prosperous society.

“May this blessed occasion renew our faith, strengthen our bonds of brotherhood and unity, and fill our homes with peace, our hearts with love, and our lives with Allah’s abundant blessings.”

Gwamna further urged Muslims and all residents to sustain prayers for lasting peace and progress in Gombe State and Nigeria, particularly for an end to insecurity and other challenges confronting the nation.

He called on citizens to promote unity, mutual understanding and peaceful coexistence, stressing that collective commitment to peace and unity remains essential for the development and progress of the country.

The Sardaunan Gombe also appealed to residents to celebrate the occasion responsibly, observe necessary precautions and obey traffic rules while marking the day in their communities and neighbourhoods.

He wished Muslims a peaceful and blessed Eid-ul-Maulud celebration and prayed that Allah continues to guide the country’s leaders and citizens towards peace, unity, prosperity and progress.
