Eid-El-Fitri: NNPC tasks Nigerians on peaceful co-existence 

From Okwe Obi, Abuja

The New Nigeria People’s Party (NNPP), has tasked to live peacefully in the spirit of the Eid-El-Fitri celebration.

Its National Chairman, Ajuji Ahmed, in a statement yesterday by the Publicity Secretary, Ladipo Johnson, reviewed the state of affairs in the country and said there was need for the people to come together and renew their dedication to the nation’s unity.

This, he said, was imperative in the face of challenges bedeviling the country and the reason the people must imbibe the spirit of tolerance and peaceful co- existence.

“The solemn period of Eid-el-Fitri is a period for renewing the spirit of compassion to your fellow man and sacrifice in the service of society.

“Tolerance and living in peace with one another is now paramount in the face of mounting national  challenges”, he stated.

Ahmed, however, called on the Federal Government to incorporate some durable pro-people economic measures  in its reforms, beyond palliatives, adding that sacrifices by the people within the prevailing socio-economic circumstances needed to have some human face.

He, also, called on the youth to rise up to the country’s challenges, be law abiding, and eschew unpatriotic acts detrimental to the nation’s progress,

“The youth should channel their energy to promoting harmony and actively engage in the political process for change and betterment of their future”.

He enjoined the government to double efforts in the fight against insecurity in the country.
