Eid-el-Fitr: Reps minority caucus urges tolerance, peaceful coexistence

As the Muslim Ummah celebrates Eid-el-Fitr, the minority caucus in the House of Representatives has called on Nigerians to imbibe the spirit of tolerance, sacrifice, and peaceful co-existence with one another.

The leader of the caucus, Mr Kingsley Chinda, noted that it behoves the citizenry to show true love to one another in the interest of peace and national cohesion.

The caucus felicitates with the Muslim faithful on the occasion which marks the end of the 2024 Ramadan fast.

“We urge our Muslim brethren to continue to exhibit the spirit of tolerance, forgiveness, self-sacrifice, mutual love, good neighbourliness, peaceful coexistence with others, as demonstrated by the Holy Prophet Mohammed (Peace Be Unto Him).,” the caucus noted.

“We hope and pray that this event will afford our Muslim brethren the opportunity to continue to pray for the unity, peace, and progress of our dear country, Nigeria, particularly in view of the numerous challenges facing us as a people, including poverty, hunger, several killings, abductions, kidnappings, and general state of insecurity across the country.

“We equally urge all Nigerians to remain firm, steadfast, and resolute in playing their respective parts in ensuring the rebirth of a truly secular, progressive, and egalitarian Nigerian society of our dreams.

“We are confident that God is on our side and that we shall collectively triumph in the end.”
