In keeping with the spirit of sacrifice and compassion symbolized by Eid-el-Kabir, the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) has urged President Bola Tinubu to immediately review all anti-people policies, including the exorbitant cost of petrol, power rates, and taxes on vital services.
According to reports, the party made the appeal in a statement released in Abuja on Friday by Debo Olunagba, its national publicity secretary.
The opposition party called on President Tinubu to focus the final two years of his term on improving the lives of Nigerians and governing with humility and selflessness.
“In keeping with the call for selflessness and submission to God’s will, symbolized by the Eid-el-Kabir celebration, the PDP urges President Bola Ahmed Tinubu to use the remainder of his tenure to focus on the well-being of Nigerians,” the statement said.

The party also demanded that corruption be stopped immediately and that all public funds that had been embezzled be recovered. It said that these funds should be used to improve national security, revitalize the productive sector, and build infrastructure.
“These stolen funds must be retrieved and used to improve the functioning of our security agencies, revitalize the productive sector, and provide essential infrastructure,” it continued.
The PDP urged Nigerians to maintain their optimism, patriotism, and prayerfulness in the face of increasing economic hardship, rising insecurity, and social unrest.
“The PDP urges Nigerians to maintain their patriotism, share with one another during this difficult time, and pray continuously for God’s divine intervention in the country’s affairs rather than giving up hope,” the party said.
In spite of the current difficulties, it also exhorted the populace to strengthen their belief in “the unfailing love, kindness, and provision of God.”
The PDP wished all Nigerians a happy and peaceful Eid-el-Kabir and congratulated Muslims nationwide on the festival.
