The Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) has congratulated the Muslim community on completing the Ramadan fast, calling on Nigerians to embrace justice, unity, and the rule of law.
PDP National Publicity Secretary Debo Ologunagba urged leaders to govern with fairness, honesty, and accountability while putting aside corruption and insensitivity, in a statement.
“The Peoples Democratic Party congratulates the Muslim Ummah on the successful completion of the Holy Ramadan fasting, urging Nigerians to allow the divine lessons, values of love, unity, peace, patience, tolerance, restraint, and total submission to the Will of the Almighty Allah among other virtues imbibed during the period to guide their daily dealings with one another,” the statement read.
The party called on those in leadership to serve selflessly and prioritise the people’s welfare.
“Our Party urges Nigerians, especially those in leadership positions at all levels, to re-dedicate themselves to the path of selfless service guided by love, truth, fairness, honesty, and impartiality in all their activities and put away acts of corruption, arrogance, manipulation, and insensitivity to the plight of the people,” it added.
PDP stressed that Eid-el-Fitr provides an opportunity for national reflection, urging citizens to stand for justice and adherence to the rule of law.

“Indeed, the Eid-el-Fitr offers us as a nation and humanity the divine portal to redeem our nation by standing up for justice, strict adherence to the Rule of Law, and accountability in the polity.
“The PDP is deeply disturbed that while citizens of other countries are celebrating the Eid-el-Fitr in plenty, Nigerians are dampened in spirit due to the unbearable hardship occasioned by the misrule of the All Progressives Congress (APC) administration, which has worsened in the last two years,” it stated.
The party encouraged Nigerians to extend kindness and support to the less privileged, fostering resilience and unity for a better nation.
“The PDP calls on Nigerians to use the occasion as usual to reach out, uplift, and share with one another, especially the less privileged, the displaced, and those that are hurting due to one misfortune or the other so that the joy of Eid-el-Fitr can spread to all.
“Our Party, as always, prays for the nation and wishes Nigerians, especially the Muslim Ummah, a happy Eid-el-Fitr celebration,” the statement concluded.
