PDP says Nigerians face difficult Christmas season amidst hunger, economic hardship
The Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) has lamented that many Nigerians are unable to fully enjoy the best of the Christmas season in 2024.
PDP attributed the situation to the excruciating poverty imposed on citizens of Nigeria by what it called the thoughtless economic policies of the All Progressives Congress (APC) administration.
PDP’s National Publicity Secretary, Hon. Debo Ologunagba, said this in a Christmas message to Nigerians on Wednesday.
He said, “The PDP laments that due to the abysmal level of poverty in the country, millions of Nigerians are no longer able to afford their daily meals, with most families not having the resources to travel to celebrate and bond with their loved ones as usual. Some of those who travelled are stranded on the many dilapidated highways with no hope in sight.

“There is a general sense of gloom and despondency due to the prevailing hardship at this time.
“Our party, however, urges Nigerians not to give up hope or allow the sufferings they face at this time to make them lose sight of the blessings of Christmas and its message of hope and assurance of light at the end of the tunnel.”
He urged Nigerians to stand by and share with one another so that the joy of the season can spread to all.
Ologunagba further said, “The Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) urges Nigerians to use the occasion of this year’s Christmas to promote and strengthen the bond of love, unity, and care among themselves without regard to creed, class, or divisive considerations.
“The party states that this is the only way Nigerians can survive the prevailing widespread hardship in the country occasioned by the anti-people policies and misrule of the All Progressives Congress (APC).
“Christmas, the commemoration of the birth of Jesus Christ, serves as a refreshing reminder of God’s eternal love to mankind and His willingness to grant divine solutions to every challenge of life, including the problems we face as a nation.”
