The All Progressives Congress (APC) has urged Muslim faithful and all Nigerians to pray for leaders and rededicate themselves to national peace and development.
In a Sunday statement, APC National Publicity Secretary Felix Morka commended the Muslim ummah for their devotion during Ramadan, including prayers, sacrifice, charity, and dedication to peace and unity.
The APC stated, “The All Progressives Congress celebrates with Nigerians, especially the Muslim Ummah, on the joyous occasion of Eid-el-Fitr.
“A very symbolic event in the Islamic calendar, Eid-el-Fitr is celebrated by Muslims worldwide to mark the end of the month-long dawn-to-dusk fast of Ramadan.
“We commend our Muslim faithful for their utmost devotion to Almighty Allah expressed in fervent prayers, sacrifice, charity and commitment to peace and unity of our dear country throughout the holy month of Ramadan.
“As we celebrate, we implore our Muslim faithful to continue to exemplify the virtues and essence of Ramadan by sustaining their supplications, sacrifice, generosity, and tolerance as espoused by the Holy Qur’an and the Sunnah of Prophet Muhammad (SAW).
“We also urge them to use the occasion of Eid-el-Fitr to further pray for our leaders and rededicate themselves to the collective task of achieving sustainable peace, progress and development of our dear country.”
