The Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) has called on Nigerians to use the Easter season to rekindle their hope for a new and purposeful order derived from the will of the people.
In a statement by the party’s National Publicity Secretary, Debo Ologunagba, on Saturday, the party also assured Nigerians of its resolve to take every lawful means in winning its case at the Presidential Election Petition Tribunal.
Westernlifenews had reported that the PDP and its presidential candidate are contesting the Independent National Electoral Commission’s declaration of Bola Tinubu, the candidate of the All Progressives Congress as the president elect for the February 25 presidential election.
According to the INEC, Tinubu scored 8,794,726 votes, while Atiku garnered 6,984,520 votes.
The Labour Party candidate came third with a total votes of 6,101,533 votes.
He stated that Nigerians are observing another celebration in fear, hardship and hopelessness due to the maladministration of the APC.
The statement reads: “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.
“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.
“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 PDP felicitates with Nigerians and wishes them a happy Easter celebration.”
