The All Progressives Congress, Osun State Chapter has urged the people of the state particularly Muslim faithful to be totally committed to mutual respect, love, and peace as enriched in Islamic religion and ethos.
The charge was contained in a press statement signed by the party spokesman, Mr. Kunle Oyatomi, a copy which was made available to osun.life in Osogbo, the state capital to felicitate with Muslims in the State and Nigeria at large over this year Eid-el-Kabir.
The party reminded Muslims (and indeed all citizens of the state) that ‘no society, state or country, and even religion can survive without peace and love.
The message reads, “Mutual respect, love, and peace are the unifying force critical to progress and development in any society”
“Osun in particular and the country in general, need a lot of love and peace to overcome the security challenges Nigeria faces currently.
‘If we must move the country forward, and Osun must build on and sustain the level of development it has achieved in the last eight years, there is no other choice but to work in unity, mutual respect, and caring for each other’, the APC chairman admonished.
APC further urged that ‘citizens to support her government led by the state governor, Ogbeni Gboyega Oyetola to achieve its goal of making life in the state more comfortable and attractive to citizens, investors and businesses’.
‘Early indication of work already done in the expansion and re-equipment of healthcare facilities across the state, including the accelerated attention being given to critical road infrastructure by the new APC administration should encourage hope and trust that the future of the state is in secure hands.
“Therefore, as we celebrate with our Muslim brothers and sisters, let us focus attention on the exalted principles of love and peace, of brotherhood, of mutual respect and caring for each other, without which we struggle in vain to build a progressive society”
In conclusion, the party called on the people of the state to be ‘law abiding and patriotic citizens who have the best interest of the state at heart and will work with their government to make Osun one of the most peaceful and progressive states in Nigeria’.
