Clearly, this is a most difficult and challenging time for us as a people as our dear country continues to grapple with governance, sociopolitical and economic realities occasioned by unprecedented poor living conditions and invidious government policies.
“Indeed, our people are daily faced with realities of hunger, excruciating pain, poverty, several killings, abduction and kidnappings across the country.
“However, we hope and pray that this event will afford our muslim brethren the opportunity to continue to pray for the unity, peace and progress of our dear country, Nigeria.
The Group therefore charged the Muslim faithfuls and all Nigerians to remain firm, steadfast and resolute in playing their respective parts in ensuring the rebirth of a truly secular, progressive and egalitarian Nigerian society of our dreams.
The Reps Minority Caucus which noted that Nigerians are a resilient people, expressed confident that God is on our side and that we shall collectively triumph in the end.
