The Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) has urged Nigerians to use the occasion of Easter, the celebration of the resurrection of Jesus Christ from the dead, to pray for the triumph of justice in the country and rekindle their hope for a new and purposeful Order that derives only from the Will of the people.
The party said this in a statement in Abuja by its National Publicity Secretary, Hon Debo Ologunagba
The coming of Easter, at the time Nigerians are despondent over the outcome of the 2023 general elections, according to the PDP, serves as an assurance that no matter how long falsehood and manipulation appear to thrive, the truth will surely prevail at the end of the day.
It added that that this season rekindles humanity’s assurance of victory of life over death, hope over despair, justice over injustice and the triumph of the Will of the people over the selfish and parochial scheme of an arrogant, selfish, corrupt and manipulative few.
The PDP said that it is saddened that Nigerians are again observing a celebration such as Easter in hardship, fear, insecurity and hopelessness occasioned by the misrule of the All Progressives Congress (APC).
The party however assured of its upmost resolve to take every lawful action in the determination to retrieve the Presidential mandate freely given by the people to it and its candidate, Atiku Abubakar at the February 25, 2023 Presidential election “so that Nigerians can have the breath of fresh air under a purposeful leadership that they eagerly yearn for”.
