Eid-el-Fitr: APC Celebrates with Muslim Faithful

JOEL OLADELE, Abuja

The All Progressives Congress (APC) has congratulated Nigerians, especially the Muslim Ummah, on this year’s joyous occasion of Eid-el-Fitr.

In a statement signed on Sunday, by the party’s Spokesperson, Felix Morka, APC said Eid-el-Fitr is a very symbolic event in the Islamic calender, as it’s being 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),” Morka stated.

The Spokesperson also 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 the country.

“Barka da Sallah, dear compatriots!,” he said.
