The Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) has asked Nigerians to
use the Christmas celebration to renew hope for a better nation.
In a statement on Sunday, Debo Ologunagba, national
publicity secretary of the party, said the season should strengthen the resolve
to rescue the nation from the leadership of the All Progressives Congress
(APC), which he described as “suffocating”.
“The PDP urges Nigerians not to succumb to misery in spite
of the hardship and agony they face under the APC administration but use the
occasion of Christmas, the celebration of the coming of Jesus Christ to
strengthen their hope for a brighter future for our nation,” the statement
read.
“The PDP is saddened that millions of Nigerians cannot
afford the necessities to celebrate, many could not travel to meet with their
loved ones due to economic hardship and those who did are facing harrowing
life-discounting experiences, with several families stranded on the highways on
account of dilapidated roads and worsening insecurity under the suffocating APC
government.
“It is distressing
that while people in other parts of the world where governments care for
citizens are celebrating with joy, Nigerians are marking Christmas in utter
despondency under the APC and its corrupt leaders.
“More heartbreaking is the fact that Nigerians watch in
despair as their purchasing power constantly falls, due to the anti-people
economic policies of the APC administration resulting in hyperinflation and
rapidly depreciating currency.
“The APC has succeeded in turning our nation, once reputed
as a country of the world’s happiest people and one of the fastest growing
economies into the poverty capital of the world and one of the most insecure
places to live in.
“However, our party
urges Nigerians not to lose hope but use the occasion of Christmas, which marks
the redemptive purpose of God towards mankind and our nation in particular to
rekindle their resolve for a new dawn under a purposeful, caring and
affectionate PDP leadership, come May 29, 2023.”
