Speaker House of Representatives Mr Femi Gbajabiamila has called on Nigerian Muslims to continue to pray for the country and her leaders, as they celebrate the birth of Prophet Muhammad (SAW).

In a message by his Special Adviser on Media and Publicity Mr Lanre Lasisi, the Speaker said the life and times of the Holy Prophet were worthy of emulation, hence the need for Nigerian Muslims to emulate him.

Mr. Femi Gbajabiamila, who emphasized the importance of celebrating the Maulud, urged Muslims to remain united, steadfast and continue to live peacefully with their neighbours as practised by the Holy Prophet SAW.

He said though, Nigeria was facing some challenges at the moment, noted that with prayers and unity of purpose, the country shall overcome them.

The Speaker who was optimistic that Nigeria would soon come out stronger, however, urged Nigerians to continue to be vigilant wherever they were as that would help in checkmating insecurity.
