The Christian Association of Nigeria, CAN, has felicitated the leadership of the Nigerian Supreme Council for Islamic Affairs, NSCIA, and Muslims across the country on the occasion of this year’s Eid-el-Maulud which marks the birth of Islam’s Prophet Mohammed.

CAN prayed to God to bring back peace and tranquillity to Nigeria and bind the nation together with improved unity, peace, economic growth, and development.

In a statement signed by its General Secretary, Joseph Bade Daramola, Esq, titled, “CAN Felicitates With Sultan, Muslims At ID-MOULD Celebrations”, the statement explained, “We send the best wishes to our Muslim brothers and sisters from the Christian Association of Nigeria on this year’s occasion of the birth of Prophet Mohammed (SAW). His birth has given them the power of peaceful co-existence, code of conduct and boldness to live holy lives here on earth and assurance to enter into paradise hereafter without any hindrance.”

CAN said it felicitates his Eminence, Muhammadu Sa’ad Abubakar, the Sultan of Sokoto, the Sultanate Council, all the Muslim leaders, and all Muslims nationwide and enjoined them to pray for the peace of the land.

CAN also urged the government at all levels to double their efforts in stopping the menace of terrorism and banditry in Nigeria, saying that the government must exercise the political will and pave the way to the end of the insurgency in the country.

It rejoiced with the Muslim Ummah on the occasion of the Eid-el-Maulud and prayed that God would continue to keep the country one in His love, benevolence, and mercy.

It said it is also its prayer that the good Lord would bring back peace and tranquillity to the country, bind Nigerians together as one nation and improve economic growth and development.
