Eid El- Kabir: PDP Urges Nigerians To Pray And Rededicate To God

The Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) urges Nigerians to use the occasion
of the holy festival of Eid El- Kabir to pray for abiding 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 and total submission to the will of the Almighty God, as
exemplified by the Holy Prophet Ibrahim, who was willing to sacrifice
his only son, Ishmael in obedience to God’s command.

The party, in a goodwill message signed by the National Publicity
Secretary, Olisa Metuh on Wednesday, said the Eid El-Kabir, once again
provides Nigerians a great 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.

“We must therefore seize this divine doorway and collectively pray for
our leaders to be divinely guided against actions and inactions that 
tend to divide the nation, create tension and threaten our bond as one
people under God, who, in His infinite wisdom destined Nigeria, a united
and prosperous nation, where the welfare, freedom and happiness of all
citizens are guaranteed”.

The party also urged 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.

The PDP urged the 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.

On its own part, the PDP reassured that it would remain commitment to
national interest by providing credible and issue-based opposition while
constructively proffering alternatives to the programmes and policies of
the APC-led Government, in a manner that would be of benefit to the
Nigerian people.

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.
