ADP felicitates with Nigerians

The Action Democratic Party (ADP) has felicitated with all Nigerians, especially Christians, on the celebration of the birth of Jesus Christ.

This was contained in a statement issued on Christmas eve by the spokesman of the ADP in Lagos State, Prince Adelaja Adeoye.

The statement said: “Nigerians must use this period to reflect on our common goals and shared destiny. We urge all citizens to imbibe the spirit of peace, unity and love for one another;

virtues that Jesus Christ exhibited throughout his stay on earth. It is with these virtues and more that we can move our country forward.

“Jesus Christ is the perfect example of sacrifice and that’s why he laid down his life for the sake of mankind. Political Leaders must begin to be selfless; shun corrupt practices, therefore bringing true development to the people.

Nigerians, irrespective of religious faith should use this period to spread love and care to the less privileged amongst us.

“He further stressed that the party is very much concerned about the unimaginable sufferings that Nigerians are going through as a result of the fuel scarcity especially at this time when Nigerians plan to spend the celebrations with their families scattered all over the country. “Our party frowns at this development and we say that it is totally unacceptable.

These are issues that our party has set out to solve once and for all when given the opportunity to serve.

“Having survived the challenges that 2017 presented, we are optimistic that 2018 will be a better year for all Nigerians.

“We wish you all a Merry Christmas and prosperous New Year.”
