”We should use this year’s Maulud Nabiy to retrace our steps and engage more in righteous deeds. Let us say No to corruption at all levels. We must rise up to condemn kidnappings, armed robberies, banditry and all other forms of social vices.

She decried the level of ritual killings, yahoo yahoo and all forms illicit acts, particularly prostitution, fornication, child abuse, human trafficking and others, while she called on Nigerians to seek God in their daily endeavors.
