According to a congratulatory message issued by national publicity secretary of the party, Felix Morka on Sunday, APC urged them to pray for peace in the country.
“Very symbolic event in the Islamic calender, Eid-el-Fitr is celebrated by Muslims worldwide to mark the end of the month-long dawn-to-dusk fast of Ramadan.
“We commend our Muslim faithful for their utmost devotion to Almighty Allah expressed in fervent prayers, sacrifice, charity and commitment to peace and unity of our dear country throughout the holy month of Ramadan.
“As we celebrate, we implore our Muslim faithful to continue to exemplify the virtues and essence of Ramadan by sustaining their supplications, sacrifice, generosity, and tolerance as espoused by the Holy Qur’an and the Sunnah of Prophet Muhammad (SAW)”.
APC urged them to use the occasion of Eid-el-Fitr to further pray for leaders and rededicate themselves to the collective task of achieving sustainable peace, progress and development of Nigeria.
