The minority caucus in the House of Representatives, on Tuesday, urged Nigerians to use the occasion of the Eid-el Maulud to pray for God’s intervention on the biting economic hardship, escalated insecurity and infrastructural decay occasioned by the bad leadership presently plaguing the nation.
The Minority Leader, Ndudi Elumelu, in a statement issued to commemorate this year’s Eid-el-Maulud tasked all citizens to use the occasion as a springboard for a new era of peace, love, and trust in God in all spheres of our national life.
Hon. Ndudi Elumelu also urged all Nigerian leaders at all levels on the need to redouble efforts toward improving the well-being of Nigerians.
“Indeed, the Eid-el-Maulud, which marks the birth of Holy Prophet Mohammed, offers humanity and particularly, our nation, Nigeria, an exceptional opportunity to reinvent ourselves along the path of national unity, tolerance, forgiveness, affection and forbearance towards one another, in line with the teachings of the Holy Prophet.
“Eid-el-Maulud presents us a great lesson on the kindness and mercies of the Almighty Allah in providing divine direction to humanity; a lesson that we all must allow to reflect in our daily activities as individuals and as a nation.”
The minority caucus, therefore, called on leaders at all levels to use the occasion to reflect on their actions and redouble their effort in selfless service towards the people.
“In the same vein, our caucus urges Nigerians to use the occasion of the Eid-el Maulud to pray for God’s intervention on the biting economic hardship, escalated insecurity and infrastructural decay occasioned by the bad leadership presently plaguing the nation.
“The minority caucus also charged Nigerians to remain united and continue to reach out to one another in love, particularly during the season of Eid-el Maulud.
“Our caucus felicitates with Nigerians and wishes the nation a happy Eid-el Maulud,” Elumelu said in the statement.
