APC celebrates with Muslims

TRACKING __The All Progressives Congress (APC) has urged Muslims to adhere to the teachings of Eid-el-Kabir.

Celebrating with Muslim Ummah on the commemoration of Eid ul-Adha, the party’s Deputy National Publicity Secretary, Yekini Nabena, said the important Islamic festival should remind them of the total submission of Prophet Ibrahim to Almighty Allah.

APC in a statement by Nabena, urged Muslim faithful to adhere to the teachings of the Islamic festival, which places value on sacrifice and selflessness to one another.

The statement read: “The important Islamic festival teaches us the value of sacrifice and selflessness to one another, irrespective of our perceived differences – religious, tribal, ethnic, political, cultural, among others.

“In the end, we are all human beings and its humane to look out for ourselves, particularly the disadvantaged and less-privileged around us. We must therefore resist and reject divisive elements who try to spread hate and intolerance, instead of harmony and peaceful coexistence. Their intentions are myopic, self-serving, unprogressive and evil.”

The party assured Nigerians that President Muhammadu Buhari was unrelenting in the fight against corruption despite skewed narratives from opposition parties.

“The fight against corruption is total and unsparing, as recent inquests and prosecutions undertaken by the current government have shown.

“Doubters and naysayers are welcome to test the administration’s resolve to fight corruption. The full weight of the law awaits them.”

As the Muslim Ummah celebrate the festival, the party urged all to stay safe and observe public health protocols, including safe distancing “because the Coronavirus (COVID-19) remains a deadly pandemic.”
