Nigerians Are Observing Christmas In Hunger, Misery Because Of Your Policies – PDP Slams Tinubu Government

 

The Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) has decried the anti-people policies of the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC) administration of President Bola Tinubu that have led to Nigerians observing Christmas in hunger and misery.

The party which stated this in a Christmas message, however, encouraged Nigerians not to succumb to despondency but to use the occasion and essence of Christmas to offer prayers as well as renew their hope and trust in the divine intervention of God in the affairs of the nation.

In the statement signed by the PDP National Publicity Secretary, Debo Ologunagba, the party called on the National Assembly to be on the side of the people by cutting all provisions for luxury items in the 2024 budget and channelling such funds to sectors that had direct bearing on the well-being of Nigerians.

“Our party is grieved that while families in other climes and nations are celebrating with joy, Nigerians are observing Christmas in hunger and misery because of the anti-people policies of the APC administration.

“The PDP encourages Nigerians not to succumb to despondency but use the occasion and essence of Christmas to offer prayers as well as renew their hope and trust in the divine intervention of God in the affairs of our nation.

“In spite of these challenges, the PDP felicitates with Nigerians and wishes them a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year ahead,’’ the statement partly read.

Meanwhile, PDP has appealed to Nigerians to use the occasion of Christmas to strengthen the bond of love and unity, be their brother’s keepers, despite the present hard times.
