Fatimah Abdullahi
Nigeria’s main opposition, Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) has called on Nigerians to make the most of the Eid El- Kabir to pray for permanent peace and unity in the country.
The party also urged the citizens, irrespective of religious persuasions, to use the use the occasion to reflect on the virtue of faith, service, sacrifice and total submission to the will of the Almighty God, as exemplified by the Holy Prophet Ibrahim.
These were contained in statement by the party National Publicity Secretary, Olisa Metuh.
According to Metuh, Eid El-Kabir, once again provided Nigerians an opportunity to resubmit to God and commit the nation and its leaders in prayers.
“Indeed, the Eid El-Kabir, while teaching great lessons in faith in the Almighty God, also provides us the opportunity to humble ourselves as a people and seek God’s intervention for our dear country,” he said.
The party, while urging the citizens to rededicate themselves to the values that unite, while resisting all vices that seek to weaken their bond of unity as a people, urged the ruling party, APC-led Federal Government to reciprocate by “applying itself to purposefully, make haste to chart a course of governance in the economy and other sectors of the polity, and commence the implementation of its campaign promises to the people.”
To Metuh, the opposition party would remain committed to national interest by providing credible and issue-based opposition while constructively proffering alternatives to the programmes and policies of the APC-led Government.
The party wished all Nigerians a happy Eid El- Kabir while urging them to continue to consider the less-privileged in their celebrations and at all times.
