The Presidential Candidate of the Labour Party in the 2023
general elections, Peter Obi, has charged Nigerian Muslims to use the window
availed by Eid el Fitr to seek Allah’s intervention in Nigeria’s situation.
Obi charged the people not to allow the prevailing
unprecedented hardship in the country to affect their spirit of love,
brotherliness and peaceful co-existence
Rather Obi said the people should use this year’s Eid-El
Fitri festivities to engender the spirit of oneness and also re-dedicate
themselves to the virtues of love, patriotism and unity for the desired
national development.
The former Anambra State Governor in a message to Muslims
noted that the two major faiths Christianity and Islam coming out of their
fasting period should allow the solemnity of the holy months to influence their
thoughts and actions in relating with one another and thinking about the future
of the country.
Obi said that it is discomforting the amount of blood being
shed in the country daily and asked that the situation be taken to Allah for
his prompt intervention.
The LP standard bearer said the blood of thousands of
innocent souls being wasted daily in Nigeria at various troubled spots,
particularly the stress of school children in the North, and the needless death
of troops should be enough mitigation to plead to God to save the country from
destruction.
“An intense prayer for our dear country has become very
necessary more than ever before as our nationhood is in dire need of divine
intervention to survive.
“Our economy is already under severe stress, the currency is
losing value daily, unemployment and inflation rising
Obi finally implored the people not to despair and miss the
essence and meaning of the festivity and the divine succour it brings, assuring
that there is always a light at the end of every tunnel as a new Nigeria is
still possible.
