Eid-el-Fitri: PDP urges political leaders to redirect themselves to path of selfless service
The Peoples Democratic Party has urges Nigerians to stand for justice and the rule of law, congratulating the Muslims on the successful completion of Ramadan fasting.
In a statement on Saturday, PDP National Publicity Secretary Debo Ologunagba urged Nigerians to let the virtues of love, unity, peace, patience, and submission to Allah guide their daily interactions.
PDP stated, “The Peoples Democratic Party congratulates the Muslim Ummah on the successful completion of the Holy Ramadan fasting urging Nigerians to allow the divine lessons, values of love, unity, peace, patience, tolerance, restraint and total submission to the Will of the Almighty Allah among other virtues imbibed during the period to guide their daily dealings with one another.
“Our Party urges Nigerians, especially those in leadership positions at all levels to re-dedicate themselves to the path of selfless service guided by love, truth, fairness, honesty and impartiality in all their activities and put away acts of corruption, arrogance, manipulation and insensitivity to the plight of the people.
“Indeed, the Eid-el-Fitr offers us as a nation and humanity the divine portal to redeem our nation by standing up for justice, strict adherence to the Rule of Law and accountability in the polity.
“The PDP is deeply disturbed that while citizens of other countries are celebrating the Eid-el-Fitr in plenty, Nigerians are dampened in spirit due to the unbearable hardship occasioned by the misrule of the All Progressives Congress (APC) administration which has worsened in the last two years.”
The party urged Nigerians to keep applying Ramadan’s lessons to strengthen resilience, focus, and unity in building a secure and prosperous nation, as achieved under the PDP.
