Easter: PDP tasks leaders on selfless service; asks Tinubu to address high cost of food

The Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) has tasked those in leadership positions in Nigeria to imbibe the spirit of selfless service in the discharge of their responsibilities.

This charge was contained in the party’s Easter message to Nigerians on Saturday.

The message was contained in a statement signed by the party’s National Publicity Secretary, Hon. Debo Ologunagba.

The party urged Nigerians to use the occasion of Easter, the festival of the resurrection of Jesus Christ from the dead to strengthen their hope in God and seek a national renewal by rekindling their love and commitment towards one another especially at this trying time.

The Party also urges Nigerians not to allow the hardship, insecurity and uncertainty pervading the nation to weaken their faith and optimism for a better nation.

Ologunagba said, “Indeed, the coming of Easter, the celebration of the triumph of life over death serves as divine reassurance of the saving grace of God in the gift of Salvation to mankind and His willingness to bring succour in any adverse situation.

“Our Party urges Nigerians to reinforce the bond of unity and love by sharing with and supporting one another as this is the only way the nation can survive this perilous time.

“We also call on leaders at all levels and spheres to renew the virtue of selfless service by directing their energies principally towards the wellbeing and happiness of the people.”

“Against this backdrop, the PDP urges the Federal Government to take immediate action to address the high cost of food, petroleum products, and other essential commodities and services to alleviate the suffering in the country.

“The PDP felicitates Nigerians and wishes them a happy Easter celebration.”
