The Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) on Wednesday congratulated Nigerians for witnessing another Christmas.
In a statement issued in Abuja, the party’s National Publicity Secretary, Debo Ologunagba, urged the citizens to keep hope alive despite the current economic challenges.
He appealed to ordinary Nigerians to show love and care for each other regardless of class.
Ologunagba said: “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.
“Nigerians must therefore stand by and share at this time so that the joy of the season can spread to all.
“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.”
