The Peoples Democratic Party has felicitated with Nigerians on the occasion of Easter, the Christian celebration of the death and resurrection of Jesus Christ.
In a statement issued on Sunday by its National Publicity Secretary, Debo Ologunagba, the PDP encouraged Nigerians to use the Easter season to renew their hope in God’s unwavering love and His divine intervention in the nation’s and humanity’s affairs.
The party stated, “The PDP charges Nigerians to use the import of the Easter, which signifies the ultimate triumph of God’s saving grace over adverse circumstances to reawaken their determination and hope for the much-desired national rebirth as solution for the quagmires of hardship, insecurity and uncertainty pervading the nation under the anti-people All Progressives Congress administration.
“The coming of Easter must also redirect us as a nation to the imperatives of the virtues of forgiveness, forbearance, mutual respect, obedience to the Rule of Law and love for one another without regard to sectional, tribal, religious or political considerations, as this is the only way our nation can survive this perilous time.
“Our party charges all leaders at all levels, sectors and spheres to use the occasion for deeper introspection and rededicate themselves to a life of selfless service and pursuit of the good of the people as exemplified in the life, teachings, sacrificial death and triumphant resurrection ofJesus Christ to bring redemption to mankind.
“Against this backdrop, the PDP restates its demand on the APC-led Federal Government to rescind all its anti-people and life-discounting policies, address the ravaging insecurity, hunger and economic hardship in the country.”
