As Nigerians join the Muslim world in celebrating Eid-el Kabir, a political stalwart, Dr Nnamdi Onochie, has urged Nigerians to use the season to pray for national healing and forgiveness.

Onochie made the appeal in an Eid message to Nigerians released in Abuja on Monday.

“I wish to implore our citizens to use this occasion to pray for healing as we draw from the lessons of total obedience to the will of the almighty Allah as seen in the life of Prophet Ibrahim.’’

He stated that steadfastness was the magic wand that Nigerians needed to overcome various challenges, such as kidnappings of schoolchildren, insurgency, secessionist threats, and the coronavirus pandemic.

“I urge my countrymen to remain steadfast in our trust in God, knowing that all these issues affecting the country will soon be over with the coming of a new dispensation in 2023,’’ he stated.

The former Nigerian envoy to Algeria and the Philippines encouraged political and religious leaders to draw lessons from Eid-el Kabir in carrying out their responsibilities.

He stated that Nigerian leaders’ reliance on Allah’s will was the only way out of the country’s current economic difficulties, insecurity, and other ills.

Onochie urged Nigerians to use Eid to demonstrate their love for one another by caring for those who are less fortunate, ailing, widowed, elderly, and victims of various issues in the country.

“I also want to use this opportunity to call on our leaders to use this occasion to show love to those in need, especially those in various refugee camps across the country.

“My heart also goes to those that have been orphaned by communal crises and other unwarranted insecurity situations in the country.”

He stated that the country’s current circumstances required Nigerians to be one another’s keeper, joined by love and peace in all nooks and crannies.
