Press Statement
The PDP Presidential Campaign Organization (PPCO) charges Nigerians to
use the occasion of this yearโs Christmas to pray for our nation and
focus on their collective resolve to vanquish oppressive forces and
build a peaceful, united and prosperous country, where all citizens will
live without fear.
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.
This yearโs Christmas celebration is unique, in that it marks the last
under an oppressive and insensitive administration of President
Muhammadu Buhari and his dysfunctional 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.
Moreover, 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.
Nigerians should therefore celebrate this yearโs Christmas, focusing on
the brighter future that awaits our nation under Atiku Abubakar as the
next President and not on the pessimism and promise of more suffering by
President Buhari.
In this regard, the PPCO urges Nigerians to use the occasion to show
love and share with compatriots in anticipation of a brighter future.
The PPCO therefore wishes all Nigerians a merry Christmas and happy end
of the year festivities.
