Nigerians, especially Abeokuta South residents in Ogun State have been urged not to loose hope or despair but use the occasion of Christmas to rekindle their resolve for a new dawn under a purposeful, caring and affectionate Peoples Democratic Party, PDP leadership, come May 29, 2023.
The candidate of the PDP vying to represent Abeokuta South Federal Constituency at the lower Chambers of the national assembly, Chief Toyin Amuzu, TA stated this in his Christmas message to the people, advising Nigerians not to succumb to misery and poverty in spite of the hardship and agony they face under the All Progressives Congress (APC) administration.
The Egba born Chief, who is the Asiwaju-Leragun of Egbaland enjoined Ogun people to use the occasion of Christmas, which marks the celebration of the coming of Jesus Christ to strengthen their hope for a brighter future for our nation.
According to him, "it is distressing that while people in other parts of the world where governments care for citizens, are celebrating with joy, Nigerians are marking Christmas in utter despondency under the APC and its corrupt leaders".
Chief Amuzu said, "the PDP is saddened that millions of Nigerians cannot afford the necessities to celebrate, while many could not travel to meet their loved ones due to economic hardship".
"Those travelling are facing harrowing life-discounting experiences, with several families stranded on the highways on account of dilapidated roads and worsening insecurity under the suffocating APC government" he said.
Chief Amuzu noted that "more heartbreaking is the fact that Nigerians watch in despair as their purchasing power constantly fall due to the anti-people economic policies of the APC administration resulting in hyper-inflation and rapidly depreciating currency"
He said "the APC has succeeded in turning our nation, once reputed as a country of world’s happiest people and one of the fastest growing economies into the poverty capital of the world and one of the most insecure places to live in".
The PDP Reps hopeful advised Nigerians to leverage on the message of hope and God’s undying love which Christmas brings to bond together despite the nation's challenges and show love as well as share with one another to maintain a united front in the mission to rescue our nation from the stranglehold of the APC.
He assured Nigerians of a responsible and responsive government under the PDP which he said has garnered experience in governance, stressing that the PDP was well equipped to improve the security, economy and the well-being of the people.
Chief Toyin Amuzu felicitated with Nigerians and wished all a Merry Christmas and a prosperous New Year ahead.
