The Ooni of Ife, Oba Adeyeye Enitan Ogunwusi, Ojaja II, has rejoiced with Muslims and Christians in Nigeria as they celebrate the births of Prophet Muhammed and the Lord Jesus Christ. In a congratulatory message by his Director of Communication and Public Affairs, Moses Olafare, the Ooni said he shared in their joy but advised them to emulate the two prophets’ virtues by living together in peace and harmony.
The monarch noted the co-incidence in this year’s celebration of the births of the two religious leaders, saying the global celebrations of the Maolud Nabbiy and Christmas could never have been by accident.
According to him: “It is rather an act of God, divinely designed as a pointer to the imperative need for religious tolerance.
This, no doubt, will surely bring harmony and unity that guarantees a peaceful co-existence if we must progress as a people created by the Almighty God who remains the our only owner.
