The Peoples Democratic Party has urged Nigerians to use this year\u2019s
\nEid-El-Maulud and Christmas to offer special prayers for the unity and
\nstability of the nation as well as recommit their individual and
\ncollective security and economic welfare into the hands of God.<\/p>\n
The PDP said the special prayers became essential as the nation is now,
\nmore than ever before in dire need of divine intervention, especially as
\ncitizens cope with the sudden hardship occasioned by poor management of
\nthe nation\u2019s economy in the last seven months.<\/p>\n

\nOlisa Metuh, on Thursday<\/span><\/span> said the two important celebrations, coming at
\nthis trying time, offered the citizens an opportunity to put aside every
\npolitical, religious and ethnic differences and unite against their
\nprevailing common challenges.<\/p>\n
\ncampaign promises made by President Buhari and the APC, particularly,
\ntheir December 24, 2014 Christmas message wherein they promised several
\nreforms and welfare programmes that will, in their own words, \u2018begin to
\npositively impact on the citizenry within its (APC) first few months at
\nthe helm, to such an extent that Nigerians will have a better Christmas
\ncelebration in 2015\u2019.<\/p>\n
\noccasioned by the long list of unfulfilled promises and dashed
\nexpectations under the current regime (and justifiably so), we urge that
\nNigerians should not recourse to hauling insults on the President as such
\nwould not bring the succour they seek.<\/p>\n
\ndignity and demureness as a people. They should not make us miss the
\nessence and meanings of Eid-El-Maulud and Christmas and the divine succour
\nthey bring, especially the assurance that there is always an end to every
\nnegative situation.<\/p>\n
\non those things that bind us together as a nation; show love to one
\nanother and commit the nation into Gods\u2019 hands, even as we charge the
\npolitical class to be conscious of divine accountability in all their
\ndealings.<\/p>\n
\nSecondus, on behalf of the PDP National Executive Committee (NEC), wishes
\nall Nigerians joyful Eid-El-Maulud and Christmas celebrations,\u201d the party
