APC believes in united Nigeria – Oyegun

All Progressives Congress (APC) has said that the strength of the country was in its diversity; hence the “party’s interest to support and remain steadfast to the cause of a united Nigeria.

” APC National Chairman, Chief John Odigie-Oyegun, said this in his Eid el-Kabir message to Nigerians yesterday in Abuja, even as the party felicitated with the faithful.

He said: “As we gather around family and friends to celebrate Eid el-Kabir, we should be reminded of the significance of the holy festival which is to celebrate the love and grace of Almighty Allah to mankind through sacrifice, devotion and faith.

Irrespective of our ethnic and religious affiliations, we urge Nigerians to use the opportunity of the holy celebration to rededicate themselves to selflesssacrifices for the benefi t of our neighbours and indeed the progress of country.

“In our national life, we urge citizens to eschew all forms of violence, live in peaceful coexistence and be our brother’s keeper.

Recently, the nation has witnessed some agitations with the potential of undermining the unity and our relationship across religious and ethnic divides.

” Th e party, however, called on Muslim faithful and indeed

all Nigerians to pray for wellbeing of the country and the good health of President MuhammaduBuhari.
