…says indicators still worrisome.
BY AMOS DUNIA, ABUJA – National Chairman of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), Prince Uche Secondus has said that after four years in the hands of the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC), all indicators point to the fact that Nigeria as a country is under severe pressure that need prayers and commitment of all to survive.
He therefore appealed to all Nigerians to use the period of the Eid el Fitri to reflect on the situations in the country and pray fervently for its survival.
Secondus, who made the appeal in a Sallah message to mark the end of the 30-day Ramadan fasting period by Muslim faithful, noted that the situation in the country is dicey and discomforting, stressing that only God’s intervention can suffice.
These were contained in a statement from his media office signed by Ike Abonyi, in which Secondus said that everything point to it that President Muhammadu Buhari’s administration has failed woefully in harnessing the abundant human and material resources in the country and has instead resorted to various undemocratic acts to thwart the will of the people.
According to him; “The security situation in the country, the uncertainty in the polity and the worsening economic downturn which are consequences of poor leadership entails that Nigerians should return to God for help and direction.
“The end of the Holy month of Ramadan should provide ample period for positive attitude from those in position of authority to underline the lessons of sacrifice and brotherly love warning that our actions must not negate the fundamental prescriptions of our faith.
“If Nigerian leaders absorb the lessons of Ramadan and allow it influence their conduct, most of the problems confronting the ordinary people would have been solved.
“These last 30 days of fasting and prayer will be meaningful in our lives as a nation if we allow the solemnness of the period last, influence our thoughts and actions in relating with one another”
Secondus further appealed to Nigerians of all faith to continue to maintain their harmonious inter-faith relations, for the attainment of the desired peace without which we cannot achieve good governance, national and infrastructural development as well as attract the much needed foreign investors.
The PDP National Chairman wish all Nigerians a happy Sallah celebration as he urges them to live in peace with one another.
