The interim national chairman of the Labour Party, Nenadi Usman, has congratulated Muslim faithful on the occasion of Eid-el Fitr, calling for spiritual renewal as well as individual and national growth.

This was disclosed in a statement on Friday to mark the successful completion of a month-long period of fasting and prayers by Muslim faithful.

“It is a time that embodies the virtues of discipline, compassion and devotion – values that are essential not only to individual growth but also to national development.

“At this critical point in our nation’s journey, I urge all Nigerians to use this moment for sober reflection on the state of our country and the role each of us must play in building a better future.

“From policymakers to everyday citizens, we all share a collective responsibility to contribute our quota towards making Nigeria work,” she said.

While acknowledging the myriad of challenges currently confronting the country, Usman urged Nigerians not to lose hope.

“I remain confident that with unity of purpose and renewed commitment, there shall indeed be light at the end of the tunnel.

“As we look to leaders for direction and accountability, we must also recognise our individual obligations as citizens to uphold the values of integrity, hard work and patriotism,” she stated.

Ms Usman called on citizens to recommit themselves to the ideals of peace, unity and progress.

“Let us reflect on how far we have come as a nation and, more importantly, what each of us can do to make Nigeria better than we met it,” she added.
