The Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), yesterday urged Nigerians and Muslim faithful to use the occasion of the Eid-el Maulud to pray fervently to Almighty Allah for His divine intervention in the affairs of the nation.
The party, in its message on Eid-el-Maulud, also called on Nigerians to use the occasion to reinforce the bond of unity, love and respect for one another, especially at this critical time in the life of the nation.
Eid-el Maulud, the celebration of the birth of Holy Prophet Mohammed (SAW), offers humanity an anchor in God’s love and willingness to guide mankind through obedience to His Will, righteousness, peace and eternal redemption, the national publicity secretary of PDP, Hon Debo Ologunagba, said in a statement.
“The PDP therefore calls on Nigerians, especially those holding sensitive public offices and whose decisions are central to the entrenchment of Justice, Equity and the Rule of Law in our Nation, to use the occasion to imbibe the fear of God in line with the teachings of the Holy Prophet, as this is the only to guarantee peace and stability in the polity.
“Such officials must note that positions are given by the Almighty Allah and that all their actions will be accounted for before Him.
“The PDP felicitates with Nigerians and wishes them a happy Eid-el Maulud celebration,” the statement added.
