On Wednesday, the Peoples Democratic Party called on Nigeria’s leaders at all levels to prioritise the well-being of citizens.
In a statement signed by its spokesman, Debo Ologunagba, the party also urged the leaders to use the Eid-el-Fitr celebration for soul-searching that would promote selflessness, honesty, transparency, justice, and fairness.
The party extended warm wishes to Nigerians, particularly the Muslim faithful, on the Eid-el-Fitr celebration, urging them to let the teachings of Ramadan guide their lives.
“Eid-el-Fitr offers us the divine pathway to re-dedicate to a life of love, forgiveness, abnegation, restraint, tolerance, temperance, unity, mutual understanding, peaceful co-existence, care and compassion for one another,” PDP said.
It added that Nigerians should have faith in God and obey his commands in all their dealings.
The party urged Nigerians not to allow hardship in the country to weaken their love and support for one another.
It said Nigerians should be resolute in their pursuit of a better Nigeria.
It called on good-spirited Nigerians and organisations to use the occasion of the Eid-el-Fitr celebration to further extend hands of love to the less privileged.
