President Goodluck Ebele Jonathan greets and felicitates with all Nigerians of the Islamic faith as they commemorate the birth of Prophet Mohammed today. As they celebrate Eid-el- Maulud which has fortuitously fallen on a Friday this year, President Jonathan urges Muslims across the country to offer special Jumat prayers for successful and peaceful elections in Nigeria next month.
The President reassures Muslims and all other Nigerians that the Federal Government will do all within its powers to ensure that the General Elections in February are free, fair, credible and violence-free.
President Jonathan believes that this is essential to guarantee that Nigeria remains politically stable and continues on a steady path to the fulfillment of its peoples’ collective vision of a strong, united and prosperous nation.
