The President of the Christian Association of Nigeria, Archbishop Daniel Okoh, has urged leaders in the country to prioritise policies that will alleviate the poverty in the country.
Okoh stated this in his Eid-ul-Maulud message to Muslims on Monday.
The CAN President, who felicitated Muslims on the celebration of the birth of Prophet Muhammad, pointed out that it was only through good governance and transparent leadership, that hope could be restored in the nation’s future.
He further called for unity, while also urging religious leaders to continue to promote messages of tolerance and coexistence among Nigerians.
“On behalf of the Christian Association of Nigeria (CAN), I extend warm greetings to our Muslim brothers and sisters across the nation as you celebrate Eid-ul-Maulud, the birth of the Muslim Prophet Muhammad. This occasion offers us all an opportunity to reflect on the values of peace, compassion, and unity that the Prophet exemplified and to apply these principles in our daily lives”.
“As we gather in celebration, let us be reminded of the contemporary realities facing our beloved country. To our leaders, this is a call to action to prioritize policies that will alleviate the suffering of the people and ensure justice and equity for all. It is through good governance and transparent leadership that we can restore hope and confidence in our nation’s future.
“I urge all religious leaders to continue promoting messages of tolerance and coexistence. Let us encourage our communities to engage in acts of kindness and support for one another, particularly for those who are less fortunate,” the message read.
