PDP Governors Urge Peaceful Coexistence Among Nigerians

The Peoples Democratic Party Governors’ Forum (PDP-GF) has urged Nigerians to continue to coexist peacefully.

The forum made the appeal in a congratulatory message to the Muslim Ummah on the completion of their  month-long Ramadan fast which culminated in the Eid-el-Fitr celebration.

The governors tasked Nigerians to get involved in the process of peace building in order to get the country to work for the good of all citizens.

The director general of the forum, Dr. Emmanuel Agbo, in a statement, said the completion of the month-long Ramadan fast which heralded and culminated in the Eid-el-Fitr celebration, provided a period for Muslims to reflect on the lessons of tolerance, love and sacrifice that the celebration typifies.

The statement added, “The Forum felicitates with Muslims from across the world for the dawn of another Eid-il-fitr, and pray that the Almighty Allah would accept their worship and keep them all alive and healthy to witness many more.

“And though the Ramadan season is over, we urge all Muslim faithful to continue to practise the lessons taught by the Holy Month by remaining pious and close to Allah and denying themselves in total submission to His will, not forgetting that as one of the key pillars of Islam, the Ramadan was important for developing the virtues of self-renunciation in every true Muslim.

“The Forum equally calls on all Nigerians to continue to live together harmoniously, coexist peaceful and dedicate this period of celebration to remain relentless in their prayers and support for its leaders, peace, security and unity of our dear country; even as we advocate that all Nigerians should get involved in the process of peace building in order to get the country to work for the good of all citizens,” the forum stated.
