National Chairman of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), Kabiru Turaki, has called on Nigerians to embrace peace and remain vigilant in safeguarding the nation’s democracy as the country approaches a critical political transition.
Turaki made the appeal shortly after the Eid-el-Fitr prayers, stressing the importance of unity, tolerance, and adherence to the values of peace as enshrined in religious teachings.
Addressing party faithful and the wider public, the PDP chairman urged citizens to play an active role in ensuring that democratic ideals are protected and sustained. He noted that the period ahead requires heightened civic responsibility and collective commitment to national stability.
“As a nation, we must remain steadfast in our pursuit of peace and justice. Democracy can only thrive where there is vigilance, participation, and respect for the rule of law,” he said.
Turaki also expressed optimism about the future of the PDP, assuring that the party would rise above its current challenges. He said ongoing reconciliation efforts within the party were progressing, particularly in light of recent judicial guidance.
He referenced the admonition of the Court of Appeal sitting in Ibadan, expressing confidence that the reconciliation process it encouraged would yield positive results and strengthen internal cohesion within the party.
The PDP chairman further called on Nigerians to sustain prayers for the nation, emphasizing the need for divine guidance in navigating the current political climate.
He concluded by urging collective commitment to the peace, progress, and prosperity of Nigeria, noting that national unity remains the cornerstone of sustainable development.
