The Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, has congratulated Nigerian Muslims on the celebration of Eid-al-Fitr, the completion of the Holy Ramadan Fasting, and urged them to use the occasion to pray and work towards the entrenchment of justice, equity, fairness and good governance in the country.
National Publicity Secretary of the PDP, Debo Ologunagba in a message commemorating the 2023 Eid -El -Fitr said “The Holy Ramadan offer our nation the divine opportunity for serious introspection especially on issues of the fear of God, integrity, accountability, adherence to set Rules and Constitutional Order as well as the respect for the rights, personal freedom and Will of the citizens in a democratic setting”.
Ologunagba noted that leaders must reflect on the essence of Ramadan and use the occasion to reawaken the virtues of “selflessness, honesty, self-restrain, fair-mindedness, mutual respect, forgiveness, love and compassion for one another without regards to ethnic, sectional, religious or partisan considerations as this is the only way to achieve the much-desired politically stable and economically viable nation”.
He said in-spite of numerous challenges Nigerians are faced with such as the economy, and insecurity, the PDP is however “optimistic that with fervent prayers to God and determination of the citizens, our nation will triumph in the collective quest to entrench a God-fearing leadership that is derived from the free Will of the people as expressed at the polls”.
While wishing Nigerians a happy Eid-al-Fitr celebration “The PDP therefore urges Nigerians to use the occasion of the Eid-el-Fitr to further strengthen the bond of unity, forgive, love and care for one another in the hope for a new dawn of a regenerated nation where peace, justice, Rule of Law, security, prosperity and happiness of citizens shall reign”. Ologunagba added.
