Eid-el-Kabir: Eneukwu Tasks Nigerians On Peaceful Coexistence

The Deputy National Chairman, South, of the All Progressives Congress (APC), Chief Emma Eneukwu has urged Nigerians to reflect on love and peaceful coexistence in the country.

Eneukwu, who made the call in a Sallah message in Enugu said that Eid-el-Kabir is a season to show love by making sacrifices that would foster peace and unity.

According to him, Sallah should be used to multiply good needs by putting smiles on the faces of the poor, the needy, the dejected and homeless; irrespective of their relationship with us and not just our friends, family members and acquaintances.

“I celebrate with Muslims all over the world on this year's occasion of the feast of Eid-el-Kabir.

"This is a feast that we must use to rededicate the spirit of sacrifice to Almighty God and country through the exhibition of love, submission and obedience to the things that unite us as a nation.

“We must ensure that we put the unity of our country first which does not come cheap as it requires sacrifice through commitment.

"At this point in time, it is very essential for us to join our hands, pray with one voice and ask God for peace across the nation.”

He also called for support towards the Presidential flag bearer of the ruling party, Bola Tinubu while also urging Nigerians to jettison the politics of calumny ahead of the forthcoming 2023 general elections.

“Nigeria is our country and we must work hard to make it habitable for all by putting all hands on deck to say no to terrorism, kidnapping, banditry, thuggery and other vices that reduce the progress of our dear country.

“The rate of killings in the country is enormously excruciating; as human beings are being slaughtered every day like animals.

“We must use this period to reflect on the importance of giving value to human lifes as no religion supports killing of humans but rather encourages peace and oneness. 

“Prayers are required at this point in time to help the efforts of the security agencies in their quest to protect our lives and properties."
