The National Chairman of the Peoples Democratic Party, Senator Ali Modu
Sheriff has felicitated with Christians on the occasion of Easter,
which signifies the death and resurrection of Jesus Christ.
In a
statement in Abuja yesterday, Senator Sheriff urged Christians and
Nigerians in general to imbibe the lessons of the resurrection as living
evidence that every challenge, including even death, can be overcome through abiding faith in God and dogged determination.
He said the lessons learnt from Easter should serve as a springboard for every Nigerian to rise above the challenges that the country if being confronted with presently.
The statement signed by the Deputy National Chairman of the party, Dr Cairo Ojougboh urged party faithfuls to pray for the strengthening of the party in order to face the challenges that lie ahead.
"As we remember the cruxification, death and resurrection of Jesus Christ, we should draw a lesson from his resurrection and rise above the challenges we currently face as a country.
"Even in recession, we believe as a party that there are opportunities that we believe the ever resilient Nigerian People can explore and exploit to better their lot. As a party, we are working hard to reposition ourselves so that the food governance that the PDP is known for for sixteen years would be made available for the betterment of our countrymen and women.
This is not time to despair but to come together as one strong party to take over the reins of leadership at the national and state levels. We cannot allow the desperation of a few of our renegade members to distract us from the bigger task ahead
"We must put on our positive thinking caps, ginger our acclaimed spirit of innovation, rise above our challenges and get our party working again. We must let our detractors know that the fate of millions of our supporters cannot be tied to the whims and caprices of a few shenanigans.
"On my part, i am committed to taking the party back to its rightful owners, the hardworking Nigerian people so that our party can be great again" he said.
Senator Sheriff wishes all Nigerians a blissful celebration.
Dr Cairo Ojougboh
Deputy National Chairman, PDP.
