As Muslims celebrate the festival of Eid-el-adha, the All Progressives Congress (APC), has urged them to reflect on occurrences that have happened in Ondo State, and indeed, Nigeria, so they could appropriately appreciate Allah for his mercies.
Alex Kalejaye, the Publicity Secretary of the APC stated this in a statement on behalf of the party.
He noted that the victory songs and the peace being experienced in the State, might not be there without their prayers and sacrifices.
“We implore you to always place Nigeria ahead of personal gains.
“The demonstration of obedience, faithfulness, and love for humanity by Prophet Ibrahim remains an enduring legacy to emulate. You should continually leave by that example.”
The statement added that the party also viewed her recent electoral fortunes at all levels as divine arrangements.
“It is not common for a party that swims against both religious and economic tide to prevail unscratched in a general election.
“The party expresses delight at the dedication of men and women of faith, who set aside quality time to seek the face of the Almighty God on the political tsunami that ravaged the Sunshine State in recent times. We remain unperturbed.
“The State chapter assures the Muslim community and, indeed, all residents of the State that there is no cause for alarm.”
The APC seized the opportunity to also allay the fears that the party is polarized.
“Mr. Governor, Arakunrin Oluwarotimi Akeredolu, SAN, CON, and his deputy, Hon. Lucky Ayedatiwa, are on the same page, working for the infrastructural and socioeconomic development of the State.
“The party urges residents to be watchful and take extra precautions during this rainy season to avoid being caught unawares by unexpected floods.
“The Ondo APC congratulates the Muslim faithful across all divides. We pray Allah to accept your sacrifices, and grant you the opportunity to celebrate many of it in good health. Barka de Sallah!”
