His Royal Majesty, Omo N’Oba N’Edo, Uku Akpolokpolo, Ewuare II, Oba of Benin, has enjoined Muslims to reflect on the teachings of Prophet Mohammed by embracing peace and harmonious co-existence.
He made the call while felicitating with Muslims on the occasion of Eid-El-Maulud marking the birth of Prophet Mohammed.
He reminded Muslims that every religion condemned violence and hatred for one another, adding that religion should be used to build bridges across social, cultural and ethnic divide.
The monarch called for prayer for the nation’s leaders so that they can administer the country on the path of peace, security, unity and progress.
