The Acting National Chairman of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), Ambassador Umar Iliya Damagum, has felicitated the Muslim faithful on the occasion of the 2024 Eid el-Fitr celebration.
Damagun made the call in his congratulatory statement, signed by his senior special assistant, Hon. Yusuf Dingyadi, and made available to the newsmen on Tuesday in Sokoto.
He enjoined Muslims to reflect the Ramadan fasting lessons on virtues, sympathy, and brotherhood in their lives, as well as continue prayers for national growth and stability.
He advised faithfuls to discourage all forms of criminal activities and other social vices in society.
Damagun appealed to parents and guardians to continue to discharge their God-given responsibilities to their children and wards
According to him, Ramadan is a holy month, which is a period that teaches pity for the less fortunate and devotion to Almighty God for guidance, forgiveness, and blessings. It is practiced for thirty days through fasting and prayers.
The party boss urged Nigerians to stand together as people and nations to build trust, confidence, and respect for one another through reconciliation, forgiveness, and support in order to move forward.
The teaching of Ramadan should always be with us: increase fear of God in our hearts and show pity to the less privileged and weak amongst us in order to achieve our goals and continue to be blessed by Almighty God.
”Let’s not deviate from our old practices after Ramadan, but rather implore ways to sustain our worship and devotion, hoping for a great nation of political unity, cohesion, and progress away from political indifferences.
”We must forgive with sincerity and hope for one another in order to move ahead with committed efforts to build respect and dignity towards a peaceful, united Nigeria, ” Damagun said.
He added that the PDP congratulates the entire Muslim Ummah and prays for continued divine intervention against suffering and the ingenuity of the poor leadership of those who want to return the country to the threshold of hatred, impunity, and other political challenges bedevilling the nation.
He underscored the importance of standing together through support and goodwill to overcome our fear and face issues of insecurity challenges, especially banditry activities, and other insecurity matters facing our generality of people across the country.
The party chairman emphasised that Nigerians are in dire need of security, protection, and guidance for their survival, not bad governance and insensitive administrative decisions that are still making life difficult for an ordinary Nigerian.
