The minority caucus in the House of Representatives has enjoined leaders across the tiers, arms and sectors of governance across the country to use the occasion of the Eid-el-Fitri to shed all selfish and narrow-minded interests and commit to a life of patriotism and selflessness for the good and welfare of all.
“Eid-el-Kabir, no doubt, teaches us, as leaders and a people, that with faith in God, selflessness, honesty and transparency, particularly on the part of elected leaders in pursuing the good of all, our nation will overcome all her challenges,” it said on Monday, in a statement signed by the Minority Leader, Hon. Ndudi Elumelu.
The caucus expressed sadness that many families are currently hurting and unable to meet their desires for the celebration due to the agonizing economic and security situation in the country at the moment.
It, however, called on Nigerians to brace up, unite, support and encourage one another at this critical time.
The caucus further called on the people not to lose sight of need for vigilance as they celebrate.
“Our caucus remains committed to our determination in standing for the people at all times as we also wish all Nigerians a happy Eid-el-Kabir celebration,” it stated.
