Jonathan, in a statement by his Special Adviser on Media and Publicity, Dr. Reuben Abati, urged Muslims as they celebrate Eid-el- Maulud to offer special Jumat prayers for successful and peaceful elections next month.
He reassured the faithful and other Nigerians that the Federal Government would ensure that the general elections are free, fair, credible and violence-free.
This, Jonathan said, is essential to guarantee that the country remained politically stable and on a steady path to the fulfillment of its collective vision of a strong, united and prosperous nation.
He also called on adherents of Islam to seize the opportunity of the new year and Eid-el-Maulud holidays to reflect on the need for greater application of the Prophet Mohammed’s teachings of piety, charity, tolerance, justice and peaceful co-existence with others in the collective effort to overcome national challenges.
Jonathan assured the Islamic faithful and other Nigerians that his administration would continue to be guided by the ideals of fairness, equity and justice for all.
He added that on his watch as President, no Nigerian will ever be discriminated against on the basis of religion, ethnicity or social standing.
