APC appeals to Nigerians

The All Progressives Congress (APC) has appealed to Nigerians, especially Muslims, to continue to show compassion towards the needy and less privileged in society as they celebrate Eid-el-Kabir.

Mr Felix Morka, the party’s National Publicity Secretary, made the call in a statement on Wednesday in Abuja while felicitating Muslims on Eid-al-Adha.

He noted that Eid-al-Adha, otherwise known as Eid-el-Kabir or the Feast of Sacrifice, was a highly symbolic Islamic tradition and celebration that commemorates the willingness of Prophet Ibrahim (AS) to sacrifice his son in obedience to Allah’s command.

Morka added that aside from its significance of personal sacrifice, the occasion also underscored Allah’s infinite capacity and willingness to provide for mankind divinely.

“This year’s celebration remarkably coincides with a period in our nation’s history when our dear President, Bola Tinubu, is taking some courageous and decisive steps,” he said.

The APC scribe noted that the steps were to reposition the country for rapid economic growth and wholesome greatness in line with the Tinubu administration’s Renewed Hope agenda.

“We urge Nigerians to subscribe to the virtues of sacrifice and patience as we soldier on in our quest for a better Nigeria.

“We also enjoin our Muslim compatriots to continue to show compassion towards the needy and less-privileged among us as they celebrate,” Morka urged.
