    Alhaji Fasasi emphasized that peaceful co – existence is part of Islamic ethics as Prophet Muhammad as a leader in Medinah did not only live peacefully with others but was just to them irrespective of different tribal and religious affiliations .

    He said one of the teachings of Prophet Muhammad is good neighbourhood as neighbours remained the closest ally and being kind to them would bring about harmonious living.

    The MMPN Chairman noted that the message brought to mankind by the Holy Prophet is Islam which means peace, stressing that no adherent of the religion should therefore be found in any act or action that would threaten peace and stability of anyone.

    He emphasized that as political activities gradually pick up ahead of 2023 general election, politicians should play the game by the rules and eschew conducts that are likely to cause a breach of peace.

    Alhaji Fasasi called on religious leaders, traditional rulers as well as prominent personalities to preach against electoral violence
    so that Oyo State will not return to the era of brigandage, thuggery, hooliganism and do or die politics.

    He explained that if Nigerian leaders emulate the virtues of Prophet Muhammad which include honesty, selfless service, love, kindness, equality, fairness and above all, God’s consciousness, the country would have been among the comity of developed nations.

    The MMPN Chairman enjoined leaders in the country to invest in righteous deeds at all times and fear a day when they would be called to question on their stewardship by the Almighty Allah as there would no longer be any respite regarding their judgements.
