The Peoples Democratic Party Governors' Forum (PDP-GF) has sounded the alarm on Nigeria's drift towards dictatorship, worsening hunger, and insecurity. In a statement issued on the occasion of Eid-el-Maulud, the Forum expressed concerns that the country is at a crossroads, with Nigerians becoming increasingly disconnected from essential services.
The PDP governors warned that Nigeria is inching closer to full-blown dictatorship, characterized by abuse of power and widespread poverty despite abundant resources. They urged leadership to address pressing issues such as insecurity, a compromised judicial system, and failed economic policies that have led to intolerable hunger, poverty, and unemployment.
The Forum also reflected on the lessons of Prophet Muhammad (Peace Be Upon Him), emphasizing the importance of peace, tolerance, and service to humanity. They called on leaders to uphold values such as public service with accountability, kindness, humility, and the pursuit of truth to restore citizens' faith in the country.
In conclusion, the PDP governors wished Muslims a peaceful Eid-el-Maulud celebration, filled with joy, prayer, and meaningful connections with loved ones.
