Eid-el-Fitr: PDP urges piety, fear of God
…Charges Nigerians to stand for justice, rule of law
By Tunde Opalana
The Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) congratulated 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.
The party urged 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.
In a felicitation message by its spokesperson, Hon. Debo Ologunagba on Sunday, the party said the Eid-el-Fitr offers the nation and humanity the divine portal to redeem Nigeria by standing up for justice, strict adherence to the rule of kaw and accountability in the polity.
The PDP said it 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.

“Our Party however charges Nigerians not to relent but continue to apply the lessons of Ramadan in recharging their resilience, focus and love for one another in the pursuit of a God-fearing, secure and prosperous nation that we once had under the PDP administration.
“The PDP calls on Nigerians to use the occasion as usual to reach out, uplift and share with one another especially the less, privilege, the displaced and those that are hurting due to one misfortune or the other so that the joy of Eid-el-Fitr can spread to all,” the statement read.
The PDP prayed for the nation and wishes Nigerians, especially the Muslim Ummah a happy Eid-el-Fitr celebration.
