THE Trade
Union Congress of Nigeria, TUC, yesterday pleaded with aggrieved Nigerians, to
give peace a chance in the spirit of
Eid-el-fitri, contending that saying
“no
matter what the grouse is against the state, it can be resolved through
constructive dialogue.”
According to Vanguard, TUC in a statement lamented that it is shocked that
even Nigerians expected to have known “better have not lived up to their
responsibility and instead of seeking to contribute to the rebuilding of the
nation with renewed vigour and honesty they make hate speeches.”
In an
Eid-el-Fitri message by TUC President and Secretary General, Bobboi Kaigama and
Musa Lawal, respectively, the body congratulated all Muslim faithful on the
successful completion of the Ramadan fast and also urged them to use the
occasion to reflect on the lessons learned during the period which are
primarily premised on selflessness, sacrifice, patience, modesty and
spirituality. According to the statement: “We expect Nigerians across religious
divide, to be patriotic and embrace the virtues of moderation, piety, regular
supplication to Allah and being our brother’s keeper like we did in the past.
”
We have a challenge at hand that has threatened the very existence of this
country if it is not well managed. Just few days ago we were forced to hold a
press conference because of the uncharitable statements from different
quarters. Even the people we thought knew better have not lived up to their
responsibility.”
