The Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) has asked Nigerians to pray for justice to prevail in the 2023 elections petition tribunal.
In a statement on Saturday, Debo Ologunagba, PDP national publicity secretary, said the party was determined to retrieve its stolen mandate so that Nigerians can breathe fresh air again.
Ologunagba asked citizens to seize the occasion of Easter to rekindle their hope for a new and purposeful order derived from the will of the people.
“The Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) urges Nigerians to use the occasion of Easter, the celebration of the resurrection of Jesus Christ from the dead, to pray for the triumph of justice in the country and rekindle their hope for a new and purposeful order that derives only from the will of the people,” he said.
“The coming of Easter, at the time Nigerians are despondent over the outcome of the 2023 general elections, serves as an assurance that no matter how long falsehood and manipulation appear to thrive, the truth will surely prevail at the end of the day.
“This season rekindles humanity’s assurance of victory of life over death, hope over despair, justice over injustice, and the triumph of the will of the people over the selfish and parochial scheme of an arrogant, selfish, corrupt and manipulative few.”
Ologunagba said the PDP was saddened that Nigerians were observing another celebration in hardship, fear, insecurity, and hopelessness occasioned by the misrule of the All Progressives Congress (APC).
He charged Nigerians to persevere in prayers and continue to care for one another “at this critical time” in the hope of a better nation under “a people-enthroned” leadership.
“The PDP assures of its utmost resolve to take every lawful action in the determination to retrieve the presidential mandate freely given by the people to our party and candidate, Atiku Abubakar at the February 25, 2023, presidential election so that Nigerians can have the breath of fresh air under a purposeful leadership that they eagerly yearn for,” the national publicity secretary added.
“The PDP felicitates with Nigerians and wishes them a happy Easter celebration.”
