The Bamanga Tukur led Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) has urged Nigerians to take advantage of this year’s Eid El Kabir festival to renew their commitment to the nation and show more support for the transformation agenda of the current administration.

In a statement issued by the National Publicity Secretary of Tukur’s PDP, Chief Olisa Metuh, today, the party urged Nigerians to always be guided by the lessons of the Eid El Kabir which according to him emphasizes selfless service, obedience to constituted authority.

Metuh said: “The lessons of this great celebration are of critical importance to our dear country at this moment in our political evolution. Nigeria will be a greater country if all citizens imbibe the culture of sacrifice, selfless service and support to constituted authority especially the current transformational efforts of the Federal Government.”

He called on Nigerians to remain their brothers’ keepers and remember the less privileged as they celebrate the feast of sacrifice. He urged Muslim clerics and faithful to pray for the peace and unity of the country.

Also, the Baraje faction of the PDP in its sallah message urged those in political authority to imbibe the culture of sacrifice.

The spokeperson of the faction, Chukwemeke Eze  called for divine intervention in the affairs of the country, “which explains why our party chieftains led by our National Chairman, Alhaji Baraje went to the Holy land for this year’s pilgrimage, for the opportunity to pray for our troubled country.

“We are confident that with prayers and the needed sacrifices, Allah will show us mercy and intervene to solve our current economic and political challenges”, Eze stated.
