The Peoples Democratic Party,PDP, has called on Nigerians to use the occasion of this year’s Christmas to further unite, show love to one another and reinforce their determination for a national rebirth in line with PDP’s mission to Rescue and Rebuild our nation from misrule.
The PDP said Christmas which marks the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ to redeem humanity, presents Nigerians with a momentous opportunity to rekindle their hope and work together as one people under God.
In a statement by the National Publicity Secretary, Mr Debo Ologunagba, the PDP said it was worried that in the last six years, Nigerians had been forced to mark Christmas in gloom, pain, anguish and utter despondency following excruciating economic hardship and worsened insecurity.
“The PDP is saddened that while people celebrate in other parts of the world, many Nigerian families could not afford the basic items of celebration or even travel, as they do in the past, to meet and bond with their loved ones due to high costs, worsened insecurity and deplorable state of roads which are now death traps in our country.
“However, as a resilient people, the PDP urges Nigerians not to allow the suffering they face today to dampen or destroy their inner personalities as happy people and make them lose sight of the message of hope, salvation and brighter future which Christmas offers.
“We must therefore rekindle the light of celebration by showing love and care for one another especially the less privileged, the sick, the hurting as well as victims of mindless violence and acts of terrorism that have ravaged various parts of our country especially in the last six years.”
The PDP urged Nigerians not to lose hope but to remain prayerful and optimistic of the return of the prosperous days of the nation under the PDP.
