This is contained in a statement signed by the Chairman, Hon. Maikudi Bature and made available to Newsmen on Monday in Lokoja.
The statement,” enjoins Muslims to imbibe the virtues of love, peace, tolerance, forgiveness and hard work as we renew our faith in building a strong, united, progressive and decent democratic society.
The Party urges Nigerians to pray for the country. With our collective efforts, we shall make Nigeria great again,” the statement added.
