The Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) has rejoiced with Nigerians at Christmas, urging the citizens to keep hope alive.
PDP in a statement on Wednesday by its National Publicity Secretary, Debo Ologunagba, wants the masses show love and care among each other regardless of class.
Ologunagba said that such relationship would help Nigerians in the face of the prevailing economic hardship in the country.
“Our Party however urges Nigerians not to give up hope or allow the sufferings they face at this time to make them lose sight of the blessings of Christmas and its message of hope and assurance of light at the end of the tunnel,” Ologunagba said.
“Nigerians must therefore stand by and share at this time so that the joy of the season can spread to all.”
The PDP spokesman said that Christmas, the commemoration of the birth of Jesus Christ, served as a refreshing reminder of God’s eternal love to mankind.
He stated that the occasion also served as God’s willingness to grant divine solution to every challenge of life, including the problems Nigeria faced as a nation.
Ologunagba urged Nigerians not to give up hope, and not to allow the sufferings they face to make them lose sight of the blessings of Christmas, its message of hope and assurance of light at the end of the tunnel.
“The PDP laments that due to the abysmal level of poverty in the country, millions of Nigerians are no longer able to afford their daily meals, with most families not having the resources to travel to celebrate and bond with their loved ones as usual.
“Some of those who travelled are stranded on the many dilapidated highways with no hope in sight. There is a general sense of gloom and despondency due to the prevailing hardship at this time,” the statement added.
