“His teachings border on piety, charity, tolerance and peaceful co-existence, among others.
“I enjoin faithfuls to continue to demonstrate in their lives, the good virtues of the Prophet, to engender peace and unity needed for growth and development of our dear state and the country at large.”

He said Muslims should exhibit good conduct, be just, preach peace, be good to their neighbours and kind to children and the aged.
