“It is then important for us to learn the lessons therein as exemplified by the Holy Prophet upon his arrival in Medina. Prophet Mohammed after arriving Medina negotiated the Constitution of Medina with the local clans, thereby establishing the Muslim community as a sociopolitical entity for the first time. What this is teaching us is tolerance and a high level of community engagement and relations.”
“With that, it is important to see ourselves as one entity devoid of discrimination of any form.”
“I am using this medium to appeal for a high level of religious tolerance and understanding amongst Nigerians, and in Nigeria. As that is a vital tool for a true national development.” Gbengbeleku concluded.
