EID EL FITR: PETER OBI URGES MUSLIMS TO IMBIBE RAMADAN LESSONS

The Presidential Candidate of the Labour Party, Mr. Peter Obi has charged Nigerians in the spirit of Ramadan to remain focused on peace and rule of law in the country and refuse to be distracted.

Mr. Obi in a Sallah message to Muslims in the country on the occasion of the celebration of this year’s Eid el fitr noted that the Holy Month of Ramadan was for all to practice restraint, decorum, and humility.

The Labour Party Presidential Candidate also enjoined all faithful to be fair and just in all dealings to help the needy and heal the ailing as well as promote mutual understanding and peace within communities.

The former Anambra State Governor said “Nigeria as the only nation we have is going through uncertainties
relating to insecurity, deprivation unemployment and other Socio-economic challenges.”

According to Mr. Obi, he and his Vice, Datti Baba-Ahmad have been at the receiving end of the various distinctive allegations and fake news but had in deference to the revered periods of Lent and Ramadan refrained from reacting.

“Efforts to dissuade us from pursuing rightful judicial recourse have included state deployment of deep fake audio, identity theft, impersonation, trolls, and fighting words, but in the true spirit of Ramadan, we have remained guided and responsible,” Mr. Obi remarked.

Mr. Obi while urging Nigerians to remain focused, peaceful and law abiding in the struggle for a better Nigeria, congratulated Muslim faithful for the successful completion of the Ramadan Fast and wished them a happy Sallah
