The National Chairman of the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, Prince Uche Secondus, has asked Nigerian Muslims to use the solemn period of Eid-el-Kabir to pray to Almighty God to rescue Nigeria from her current precarious situation.
Secondus said the suffering of Nigerians in the past three and half years of the All Progressives Congress, APC, administration was enough to plead to God to send a rescuer in 2019 to save them from further pains.
Secondus, in the message signed by his media aide, Ike Abonyi, said Nigerians should also use the period to offer special prayers for the unity and stability of the nation as well as recommit their individual and collective security and economic welfare into the hands of God.

Secondus said the special prayers became very necessary as the nation was more than ever in dire need of divine intervention, especially as citizens “cope with dictatorship and the sudden hardship.”
The PDP leader noted that the Eid-el-Kabir offered the citizens an opportunity to put aside every political, religious and ethnic sentiment and unite against their prevailing common challenges.
He added: “There is no dispute to the fact that Nigerians did not bargain for what they are getting in the hands of APC but the beauty of democracy is that it provides the people an opportunity to make changes and this they must ask Allah to guide them accordingly.
“It is a statement of fact that this is one of the gloomiest Sallah in our country and so it has been since APC administration came into power
“We have all witnessed the unfortunate turn of events in our country since 2015, particularly the sudden decline in the economy, rising dictatorship, political tension, avoidable bloodletting and general insecurity in the land.”
