“Nigerians across board have in the last few weeks been

recalling the campaign promises made by President Buhari and

the APC, particularly, their December 24, 2014 Christmas

message wherein they promised several reforms and welfare

programmes that will, in their own words, ‘begin to positively

impact on the citizenry within its (APC) first few months at the

helm, to such an extent that Nigerians will have a better

Christmas celebration in 2015’.”

“Whilst we understand the indignation, frustration and

disappointments occasioned by the long list of unfulfilled

promises and dashed expectations under the current regime

(and justifiably so), we urge that Nigerians should not recourse

to hauling insults on the President as such would not bring the

succour they seek.”

“The challenges we face today as a nation should not make us

lose our dignity and demureness as a people. They should not

make us miss the essence and meanings of Eid-El-Maulud and

Christmas and the divine succour they bring, especially the

assurance that there is always an end to every negative

situation.”

“The PDP therefore calls on all Nigerians to use the occasions

to reflect on those things that bind us together as a nation; show

love to one another and commit the nation into Gods’ hands,

even as we charge the political class to be conscious of divine

accountability in all their dealings.”

“On this note, the Acting National Chairman of the PDP, Prince

Uche Secondus, on behalf of the PDP National Executive

Committee (NEC), wishes all Nigerians joyful Eid-El-Maulud and

Christmas celebrations.”

Metuh had earlier predicted that Nigeria would witness its worst

Christmas ever in 2015 » due to Buhari’s policies.
