Prince Uche Secondus, the
National Chairman of the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, on Monday appealed to
Muslims to use the Sallah period to pray that “Almighty God send a rescuer to
save Nigeria from her current precarious situation.”
Secondus, who made the appeal in
a message marking the Eid-el-Kabir, noted that the suffering of Nigerians in
the past three and half years of the All Progressives Congress-led
administration should be enough reason to plead to God to send a rescuer in 2019
to save them from further pains.
In a statement signed by his spokesperson, Ike Abonyi, the PDP Chairman said Nigerians
should also use the “period to offer special prayers for the unity and
stability of the nation as well as recommit their individual and collective
security and economic welfare into the hands of God.”
Secondus said the special prayers
have become very necessary as the “nation was more than ever before in dire
need of divine intervention, especially as citizens continue to cope with
dictatorship and the hardship.”
He said, “There is no dispute to
the fact that Nigerians did not bargain for what they are getting in the hands
of APC but the beauty of democracy is that it provides the people an
opportunity to make changes and this they must ask Allah to guide them
accordingly.
“It is a statement of fact that
this is one of the most gloomiest Sallah in our country and so it has been
since APC administration came into power
“We have all witnessed the
unfortunate turn of events in our country since 2015, particularly the sudden
decline in the economy, rising dictatorship, political tension, avoidable
bloodletting and general insecurity in the land.
Secondus noted that while it
would be understandable, the indignation, frustration and disappointments from
the citizens caused by the long list of unfulfilled promises and dashed
expectations under the current regime, period of sallah provides for them to
return to God in supplications to change the situation.
He admonished Nigerians not to
allow the “Challenges they face today as a nation make them lose their dignity
and demureness as a people and make them miss the essence and meaning of
Eid-el-Kabir and the divine succour it brings, especially in assuring that
there is always an end to every negative situation.”
Secondus also urged all Nigerians
to use the Sallah festivities to “reflect on those things that bind us together
as a nation; show love to one another and commit the nation into Gods’ hands to
make INEC conduct free, fair and transparent election in 2019.”
“On this note, the National
Chairman of the PDP, on behalf of the PDP National Executive Committee, wishes
all Nigerians joyful and peaceful Sallah celebrations,” he added.
