BY AMOS DUNIA, ABUJA – The All Progressives Congress (APC), has said that it is in the collective interest of Nigerians to support and remain steadfast to the cause of a united Nigeria stressing that their strength remains in their diversity.
The APC, which stated this in a message signed by its National Chairman, Chief John Odigie-Oyegun, to felicitate with Muslim faithful on the occasion of Eid-el-Kabir, urged Nigerians to use the opportunity of the celebration to rededicate themselves to selfless sacrifices for the benefit of their neighbours and indeed the progress of the country irrespective of ethnic and religious affiliations.
Odigie-Oyegun said the APC as a Party, believes it is in the collective interest of Nigerians to support and remain steadfast to the cause of a united country, adding that Nigerians strength remains in their diversity.
He said; “As we gather around family and friends to celebrate Eid-el-Kabir, we should be reminded of the significance of the holy festival which is to celebrate the love and grace of Almighty Allah to mankind through sacrifice, devotion and faith.
