Reps caucus tasks leaders on selfless service

The minority caucus in the House of Representatives congratulated Nigerians, especially Muslim faithful, on this year’s celebration and called on leaders at all levels to use the occasion to reflect on the demand of selfless service to the people.

In a statement yesterday, the leader of the caucus, Ndudi Elumelu said: “The Eid-el Kabir offers us all, especially the leaders, great lessons in selflessness and sacrificial living in all our dealings.

“Those in leadership must bear in mind that the positions they occupy are bestowed on them by God and as such requires total obedience to God and selfless service to the people”.

The lawmakers also urged all Nigerians to use the occasion to strengthen their trust in God as the only solution to the challenges they face.

“Let us use the Eid-el Kabir to reinforce our commitment towards the unity and stability of the nation as well as strengthen our love for one another especially at this critical time in our national and global history”.

The caucus also urged Muslims to pray that God intervenes in the corruption and insecurity that are ravaging every sector of the economy and the communities.
