The All Progressives Congress (APC) has appealed to Nigerians, Muslims and non-Muslims, to cultivate the virtues of tolerance in their relationship with one another and shun divisive acts and tendencies capable of destabilising the country.
The party’s National Publicity Secretary, Mallam Lanre Issa-Onilu, stated this in a message to Muslims on the celebration of Eid-el-Fitr.
The ruling party also urged Nigerians to be vigilant, especially in the period of security challenges, and report suspicious persons to relevant authorities.
The statement reads: “In commemoration of this year’s Eid-el-Fitr signalling the end of the Ramadan period, the APC rejoices with all Muslim faithful and, indeed, all Nigerians, for the successful completion of the month-long fasting.
“The party implores the Muslim Ummah to continue to imbibe the spirit, virtues and lessons of Ramadan, which include sacrifice, modesty and discipline in rededicating themselves to the task of nation-building.

“We equally admonish Muslims and non-Muslims to cultivate the virtues of tolerance in their relationship with fellow Nigerians and shun all divisive acts and tendencies capable of destabilising the country.
“In the wake of our security challenges, such as terrorism, armed banditry and kidnapping, we ask all Nigerians to remain vigilant and security conscious and report suspicious activities around them to the relevant security agencies.
“The President Muhammadu Buhari-led APC administration holds the protection of life and property of every Nigerian sacrosanct and would not relent in swiftly dealing with real and perceived threats in any part of the country.
“Our great party urges all Nigerians to continue to pray for the peace, progress, stability and prosperity of our country and grant our leaders at all levels the wisdom to successfully steer the ship of our great nation.”
