Today, Tuesday, August 25, 2026, is observed as Eidul Maulid in parts of the Muslim world, commemorating the birth of the last Prophet of Islam, Muhammad (PBUH). The federal government has declared it a public holiday in Nigeria, and the occasion encompasses public processions and preaching sessions. The Prophet Muhammad (PBUH), a model of virtues such as modesty, honesty, and compassion, introduced democratic ideals like consultative decision-making, egalitarianism, and the rule of law into the tribal governance structure of ancient Arabia.
His leadership centered on human dignity and public welfare, shifting governance from an authoritarian system to a participatory framework. The Prophet's political philosophy emphasizes issues-based campaigns free from vindictiveness, provocation, and violence, encouraging ethical integrity and constructive criticism. Politicians should adhere to these principles during the upcoming 2027 general elections, ensuring a peaceful and ethical electoral process.
