The main opposition party in Nigeria, the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) on Wednesday asked Nigerians, especially Muslims, to use the 2023 Eid-el Maulud celebration to offer prayers for the country.
This was contained in a statement made available and signed by PDP’s National Publicity Secretary, Debo Ologunagba, where the party called for intensive and fervent prayers to Allah for His divine intervention in the affairs of Nigeria.
The party also urged the citizens of the country to use the occasion of the birth of the Holy Prophet Mohammed (SAW) to reinforce the bond of unity, love and respect for one another, especially at this critical time in the life of the nation.

PDP also advised Nigerians holding sensitive public offices and whose decisions were central to the entrenchment of justice, equity and the rule of law in the nation to use the occasion to imbibe the fear of God.
The statement read, “The Party also calls on Nigerians to use the occasion to reinforce the bond of unity, love and respect for one another, especially at this critical time in the life of our Nation.
“Eid-el Maulud, the celebration of the birth of Holy Prophet Mohammed (SAW), offers humanity an anchor in God’s love and willingness to guide mankind through obedience to His Will, righteousness, peace and eternal redemption.
“The PDP therefore calls on Nigerians, especially those holding sensitive public offices and whose decisions are central to the entrenchment of Justice, Equity and the Rule of Law in our Nation, to use the occasion to imbibe the fear of God in line with the teachings of the Holy Prophet, as this is the only to guarantee peace and stability in the polity.
“Such officials must note that positions are given by the Almighty Allah and that all their actions will be accounted for before Him.
“The PDP felicitates with Nigerians and wishes them a happy Eid-el Maulud celebration.”
