Millions of Nigerians are observing Eid in frustration, Can’t Afford Basic Things Because of APC Govt – PDP Laments
While Congratulating Nigerians on the celebration of Eid-el-Kabir, the People Democratic Party, PDP has cautioned the All Progressives Congress, APC, and the Federal Government controlled by the party against visiting anti-people polices on Nigerians and asked the people to use the divine occasion to pray fervently for the triumph of justice and the will of the Almighty Allah in the affairs of the nation.
The PDP also commended Nigerians for their resilience in the face of “most harrowing economic hardship under the APC Federal Government,” and urged them to reinforce their patience, hope and trust in God, despite the prevailing economic, social and security challenges.
The PDP, in a statement by its National Publicity Secretary, Mr. Debo Ologunagba, said: “Our party charges Nigerians not to allow the hardship and sense of uncertainty they face at the moment to make them lose sight of the essence of the Eid-el-Kabir; the demand for selflessness, absolute trust and submission to the will, authority and command of Allah in all issues of life.
“The PDP describes as heart-rending that Nigerians are currently undergoing the most harrowing economic hardship under the APC-led Federal Government which continues to impose life discounting policies, with attendant hardship, on the people without verifiable plans for relief.
“Our party is deeply worried by the worsening economic crisis, astronomical increase in cost of essential goods and services, collapse of the purchasing power of citizens and scorching economic distress on millions of families across the country.
“It is saddening that on an occasion like this, millions of Nigerians are observing the period in frustration as they cannot afford the basic necessities to celebrate with their loved ones.
“Many cannot express their affection by travel-ing to visit or even share with their family members and friends all because of hardship and insensitive policies imposed by the APC government.
“The PDP, however, urges Nigerians not to despair but use the Eid-el-Kabir celebration to further unite in love, support and care for one another at this critical time.”
