The People’s Democratic Party (PDP) caucus in the House of Representatives has called on Muslim faithful in Nigeria to pray for lasting solutions to the numerous challenges facing the nation such as killings, kidnapping, divisiveness, and the general state of insecurity.
The caucus made the call in a message of felicitation to the Nigerian Muslims on the occasion of this year’s Eid-el-Fitr.
The message signed by the leader of the PDP caucus, Kingsley Chinda, urged the Muslim faithful to use the occasion to continue to exhibit the spirit of tolerance, sacrifice, selflessness, mutual love and peaceful coexistence with others.
“I also urge that this year’s celebration should further afford our Muslim brethren the opportunity to continue to pray for wisdom and for the spirit of justice to be bestowed on our leaders, and for the unity, peace and progress of our dear county, built on just, fair and egalitarian principles.

“This is in view of the numerous challenges facing us as a people, including several killings, kidnappings and the general state of insecurity across the county, coupled with the intractable crisis of leadership, rudderless economy, seeming divisive tendencies occasioned by invidious governmental policies and actions, which have more than ever polarised and weakened our collective drive and nationalist spirit.
“Equally, of concern is the need for everyone to continue to stay safe and help stop the spread of the dreaded COVID-19 global pandemic which since early 2020 has continued to ravage several countries of the world, including our dear Nigeria.
“I am confident that God is on our side and with us playing our individual and collective selfless and patriotic roles, we shall triumph in the end”, he stated.
