Katsina State Governor, Malam Umaru Radda, has called on Muslims to uphold sustainable peace, discipline and unity as essential values for societal development.

 

The governor made the call during the 2026 National Maulud held at the Muhammadu Dikko Stadium, Katsina, which attracted millions of faithful from within and outside Nigeria.

 

 

Speaking before a large congregation of Islamic scholars, traditional rulers and worshippers, Governor Radda emphasised that Islam promotes peace, orderliness and respect for authority.

 

He urged Muslims to practise the teachings of the Holy Prophet Muhammad (SAW) beyond ceremonial observance by reflecting them in daily conduct.

 

The event was attended by prominent Islamic figures, including Muhammadu Sanusi II; the Khalifa of Sheikh Ibrahim Inyass from Kaolack, Senegal; Sheikh Ibrahim Dahiru Bauchi; and other renowned clerics.

 

Governor Radda commended the peaceful conduct of the gathering and reaffirmed his administration’s commitment to policies that promote peace, moral values and inclusive development.

 

 

The event concluded with prayers for peace, stability and prosperity in Katsina State and Nigeria.
