Easter: PDP Preaches Newness, Unity, Forgiveness

….Urges End To Bitterness

The National Chairman of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), Senator Ali
Modu-Sheriff, on behalf of the National Executive Committee (NEC)
felicitates with Nigerians on this year’s Easter, while urging them to
use the occasion to renew the bond of love, forgiveness and peaceful
co-existence, irrespective of religious, ethnic and political
persuasions.

The party said “just as Easter represents the triumph of life over
death, Nigerians can draw strength and inspiration to overcome the
division, disagreements and bitterness that now threaten the unity and
corporate existence of our dear nation”.

The party, in a goodwill message issued by the National Publicity
Secretary, Chief Olisa Metuh on Saturday said such devotion to national
unity and harmony is paramount to overcoming the economic, social and
security challenges presently confronting the nation.

“Indeed, the occasion of Easter presents us a great lesson in faith in
the Almighty God and the triumph of good over evil, the very reason we
must humble ourselves and seek divine intervention for our dear country.

“Our unity is our strongest source of strength as a nation. We must
therefore collectively determine to end the bitterness, hostilities and
division that keep us apart and seek only the virtues of love,
forgiveness, charity and such others that unite us as a people.

“In the same vein, duty beckons on all of us to imbibe a life of
constant prayers for our leaders at all levels to be divinely guided
against actions and inactions that tend to polarize the people and
create tension in the land.

“We must all continue to see ourselves as brothers and sisters and work
together towards fulfilling the mind of God who, in His infinite wisdom
destined us to live together as a united and prosperous nation, where
nobody is molested and where fairness and the wellbeing of all citizens
are paramount as guaranteed within the laws.

“On this note the PDP joins in praying for the nation and wishing all
citizens happy Easter celebrations.
