Obi Urges Muslims to Seek God’s Intervention In The Needless Bloodshedding In The Country
The Presidential Candidate of the Labour Party in the 2023 general elections, Mr Peter Obi, has charged Nigerian Muslims to utilize the opportunity availed by Sallah to seek God’s intervention in Nigeria’s situation.
Obi who gave the charge in his Sallah message, urged the citizens not to allow the prevailing unprecedented hardship in the country affect their spirit of love, brotherliness and peaceful co-existence
He said rather people should use this year’s Eid-El Fitri festivities to engender the spirit of oneness and also re-dedicate themselves to the virtues of love, patriotism and unity for the desired national development.
The former Governor of Anambra State noted that the two major faiths Christianity and Islam coming out of their fasting period should allow the solemnness of the holy months to influence their thoughts and actions in relating with one another and thinking about the future of the country.
He said that it is discomforting the amount of blood being shed in the country daily and asked that the situation be taken to God for his prompt intervention.
The LP standard bearer said that the blood of thousands of innocent souls being wasted daily in the land at various troubled spots, particularly the stress of school children in the North, and the needless death of troops should be enough mitigation to plead to God to save this country from destruction.
“An intense prayer for our dear country has become very necessary more than ever before as our nationhood is in dire need of divine intervention to survive.
“Our economy is already under severe stress, the currency is losing value daily, unemployment and inflation rising”.
Obi, however, implored the citizens not to despair and miss the essence and meaning of festivity and the divine succour it brings, assuring that there is always a light at the end of every tunnel as a new Nigeria is still possible.
