Former Rivers State Governor, Siminalayi Fubara, has extended his greetings to Muslims across Nigeria as they celebrate Eid-ul-Mawlid, urging them to uphold peace, tolerance and unity.

The former governor called on Nigerians, regardless of religious or ethnic background, to promote harmony and avoid actions or statements capable of creating division within their communities.

The former Rivers governor encouraged Muslims to continue demonstrating the values of generosity and compassion by reaching out to vulnerable members of society and promoting peaceful relationships within their communities.
He expressed hope that the celebration would bring renewed commitment to peace, unity and mutual respect across the country.
