“As Muslims celebrate the 2022 Maolud Nabiyy, I implore all Muslims in Oyo State and  Nigeria to continue to follow the lessons inherent in the birth and life of Prophet Muhammed (SAW)”, he said
Engineer Makinde added, “I admonish Muslims to emulate the humility, good neighbourliness, understanding and love exemplified by the life of Prophet Muhammed (SAW). The qualities of the Prophet, which  include compassion, fairness, justice, honesty, self-discipline, tolerance, hard work, perseverance and devotion in all our dealings, among others, should continue to be the compass for our lives.”
” I equally urge Muslims to be more committed to the principle of discipline, obedience and pure love for Allah and our fellow humans.They should apply all these qualities and principles in their relationship with fellow human beings, irrespective of ethnic and religious differences.
“I wish all Muslims a happy Maolud Nabiyy, as I pray that the occasion “blesses our hearts, our homes and society with happiness, love, harmony.”
