The All Progressives Congress (APC) rejoices with Muslim compatriots, on the joyous occasion of Eid el-fitr.
A statement by the National Publicity Secretary of the party, Felix Morka, noted that Eid-el-fitr is the breaking of the month-long fasting, marking the official end of Ramadan, which recalls the revealing of the Quran to Prophet Muhammad.
“The sunrise-to-sunset fast leading to this celebration is usually characterised by repentance, supplications, piety, charity, spiritual uplifting and total devotion to Allah.
“As we celebrate, we urge our Muslim faithful to continue to lead lives that exemplify such timeless virtues as self-denial, more prayers for humility, love, kindness, charity and forgiveness. We call for prayers for the nation’s unity, security and progress.
“And may the celebration strengthen bonds of selfless love, charity and kindness among families, neighbours and the less-privileged.
