He urged the Muslim faithful to adhere to the teaching of Prophet Muhammed by imbibing the spirit of inter-faith harmony in dealing with other faith.
Rev Pam further urged them to eschew all form of bitterness in their mind and extend hands of fellowship to their neighbours irrespective of their faith.
He called on Muslim leaders in the country to teach their flocks the right doctrine that would
enable them to live a responsible life so that they can impact positively on the society.
He enjoined the Muslims to show love to others , especially the not too privileged ones in their midst by reaching out to them at a time like this.
The NCPC boss also averred that the country is currently facing a lot of challenges economically and otherwise. Thus , he tasked the Muslim faithful to uphold Nigeria and its leaders in prayer so that God would have mercy on us.
He also charged them to maintain law and order even as they celebrate EId–El Maulud and ensure that those who do not want our people to sleep with two eyes close would certainly not sleep.
Rev Pam further called on them to support the young administration of President Bola TInubu through prayers as Mr President and his team are working tirelessly to give Nigerians the dividends of democracy.
He called for patience and understanding so that the good intentions of the government would come to full realization.
