Senator Natasha Urges Muslims to Embrace Peace, Help the Needy as Eid-el-Maulud Begins

As Muslims across Nigeria mark the annual celebration of Eid-el-Maulud, the Senator representing Kogi Central Senatorial District, Natasha Akpoti-Uduaghan, has urged the Muslim Ummah to embody the timeless virtues of Prophet Muhammad (SAW) by promoting peace, love, and compassion within their communities.

In a goodwill message delivered to mark the birth anniversary of the Holy Prophet, the federal lawmaker stated that the celebration should serve as a meaningful period for spiritual renewal rather than festive gatherings alone. Senator Natasha highlighted that Prophet Muhammad’s message centered on justice, humility, and peaceful coexistence—principles that remain vital for addressing Nigeria’s socio-economic and security challenges.

Addressing her constituents in Kogi Central, the lawmaker commended the senatorial district’s longstanding tradition of religious harmony, urging residents to continue living as ambassadors of unity. She stressed that cultural and religious diversity should serve as a bond of strength rather than a source of division, calling on community leaders to actively reject hatred, violence, and provocative rhetoric.

Furthermore, Senator Natasha made a passionate appeal to political leaders, parents, and young people to reach out to the poor and vulnerable during the festive season. She noted that extending support to those in need reflects the core humanitarian values modeled by the Holy Prophet, praying for divine guidance, peace, and progress across Kogi State and the entire nation.
