The Acting National Chairman of the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, Ambassador Umar Damagum, has felicitated Muslim faithful on the occasion of the 2024 Eid-El-Fitr celebration.
Damagun, in his congratulatory statement signed by his Senior Special Assistant, Media and Communication, Honourable Yusuf Dingyadi, on Tuesday in Sokoto also urged Muslims to pray for national growth.
He enjoined Muslims to reflect on the Ramadan fasting lessons on virtues, sympathy and brotherhoods in their lives as well as praying continually for the growth and stability of the nation.
According to him, Ramadan is a holy month that teaches pity for the less privileges, devotion to Almighty God for guidance, forgiveness and blessings practiced for thirty days through fasting and prayers.
The party boss urged Nigerians to stand together as one people and one nation to build trust, confidence and respect to one another through reconciliation, forgiveness and support to move forward.
”Teachings of Ramadan should always be with us; increase fear of God into our hearts, pity to less privileged and weak one amongst us in order to achieved our goals and continue to be blessed by Almighty God.
”Let’s not deviate to our old practices after the Ramadan, rather implore ways to sustain our worships, devotion, hoping for a great nation of political unity, cohesion and progress away from political indifferences.
”We must forgive with sincerity of hope to one another in order to move ahead with committed efforts of building respect and dignity towards having a peaceful united Nigeria,” Damagun said.
He, on behalf of the PDP, congratulates entire Muslim Ummah and prayed for continue divine intervention against suffering and ingenuity of poor leadership from those he accused of returning the country to the threshold of hatred, impunity and other political challenges bedeviling the nation.
The chairman of the leading opposition party also emphasised that Nigerians are in dire need of security, protection and guidance for their survival, and not bad governance or insensitive administrative decisions making life difficult to ordinary Nigerian.
