ABUJA- The PDP Presidential Campaign Organization, PPCO, Monday urged Nigerians to use the occasion of this year’s Christmas to offer prayers for the well-being of the nation and focus on their collective resolve birth a country where justice, unity and progress will prevail.
The campaign organization noted that the birth of Jesus Christ, the Saviour, signifies the triumph of light over darkness and offers Nigerians the new hope and spiritual impetus in their shared quest for a brighter future for our nation under a new administration.
In special message issued by the PPCO’s Director of Media and Publicity, Kola Ologbondiyan, the campaign council urged Nigerians to look into the future with optimism, adding that the 2018 Christmas would turn out the last they will be marking with President Muhammadu Buhari in the seat of power.
The message read in part: “This year’s Christmas celebration is unique, in that it marks the last under an oppressive and insensitive administration of President Muhammadu Buhari and his All Progressives Congress, APC, which relish in inflicting hunger, suffering and pains on the people.
“The PPCO laments the ugly situation in which Nigerians cannot celebrate a wholesome Christmas as they use to do prior to the emergence of the Buhari presidency in 2015.
“PPCO however charges Nigerians not to despair as the PDP Presidential candidate, Atiku Abubakar, whom they have resolved to elect as their new President, has already perfected templates to revamp our economy and ease suffering in our nation.
“The Atiku Abubakar policy document shows his commitment to entrench greater participation of our citizens in economic activities in various sectors, as against the Buhari exclusionist system, where our collective patrimony is only accessed by a cabal in the Presidency and corrupt APC leaders.
“In the same vein, the Atiku Abubakar policy document shows practical intervention in infrastructure and policy drive, in such a manner that guarantees rapid inflow of investments, which will in turn, revamp our ailing productive sectors, create jobs, boost the value of the naira and increase the purchasing power of Nigerians from this abysmally low level under President Buhari, to one of the most competitive in the world.”
The campaign council further assured Nigerians of a new era that would see to the end of ethnicism, injustice and all forms of fault lines working against the nation’s growth aspiration.
“Atiku Abubakar offers a new era of justice, equity, inclusiveness and respect for our national diversities as against the injustice, nepotism, disdain for the rights of citizens and corrupt body language with which the Buhari Presidency fouled our system, brought hardship, escalation of violence and bloodletting in our country.
