The All Progressives Congress (APC), in Ondo, has enjoined Christians to put behind the ‘hardship and political uncertainty’ being experienced under the current government of President Bola Tinubu and celebrate the festive season with love.
In a statement to celebrate the festive period on Monday, the governing party affirmed that the country witnessed financial and political turbulence in the last few months but praised the people for showing understanding and maintaining stability in the face of hardship.
The party, in the copy of the statement signed by its publicity secretary, Alex Kalejaye, said the people of Ondo state have shown that love, understanding, personal sacrifice and resilience can conquer development in any society as the year round-up.
No doubt, the system witnessed novel financial and political turbulence in the year, but the resolve of the politically sophisticated people to remain emotionally stable and maintain the peace has opened another chapter in the annals of our history as a people.
“As we retrospect into the activities that bestrode our state, and indeed Nigeria in 2023, let’s celebrate this Christmas with a conviction that we are putting behind the experience of hardship and political uncertainty as we march on to the era of economic prosperity,” the message read.
While appreciating the people for their confidence in the APC-led government, the party assured that it was committed to the welfare of the people and wished Christians, in particular, a happy celebration.
“The Ondo State chapter wishes all its teeming supporters and Christians all over Nigeria a happy celebration of love, forgiveness, sacrifice, team spirit, and greater expectations.”
As Nigerians join the rest of the world to celebrate Christmas, many residents have groaned over the high cost of commodities occasioned by the inflation in the country, with critics blaming Mr Tinubu for the rise following the introduction of some anti-people policies.
