The Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) has urged Nigerians to use the Easter period to renew their hope in the assurance of God’s unfailing love and intervention in the country’s and humanity’s affairs.
In a statement yesterday in Abuja by its National Publicity Secretary, Debo Ologunagba, the party felicitated with Nigerians on Easter.
Easter is the Christian celebration of the death and resurrection of the Lord Jesus Christ from the dead.
Ologunagba enjoined Nigerians to use the period of 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 a solution for the hardship, insecurity, and other challenges facing the nation.
“The coming of Easter must redirect us as a nation to the imperatives of the virtues of forgiveness, forbearance and 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 challenging time,” he said.
Ologunagba charged leaders at all levels, sectors and spheres to use the occasion for deeper introspection and rededicate themselves to a life of selfless service.
He also tasked them with pursuing the good of the people, as exemplified in Jesus Christ’s life, teachings, sacrificial death, and triumphant resurrection, which brought redemption to mankind.
He advised the federal government to rescind its policies that affect people while urging it to address the country’s insecurity, hunger, and economic hardship.
The PDP again felicitates with Nigerians and wishes them a happy Easter celebration.
