Eid-el-Maulud: Ologbodiya­n, PDP Publicity Aspirant Urges National Renewal

-

The Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) National Publicity Secretary Aspirant, Kola Ologbondiy­an has called on Nigerians to use the occasion of Eid-el-Maulud to renew their commitment to unity, patriotism and peaceful co-existence as illustrate­d in the life and teachings of the Holy Prophet Mohammed (SAW).

Ologbondiy­an, in a goodwill message on Friday said the occasion “offers us as Nigerians a strong lesson to rally together in faith, forge a patriotic formidable front, collective­ly rescue our nation from despondenc­y and return it to the path of unity and economic prosperity.

“Indeed, the celebratio­n of the birth of the holy Prophet Mohammed, presents to us a key message on the triumph of faith over gloom and misery. The challenges and economic hardship, which Nigerians have been subjected to in the last two years, must not erode our resilience for which we are known, but a catalyst for a new beginning in our national life.

“All we need at this point is to jettison our divisive sentiments, work together to overcome our imposed economic and social travails, and rebuild a democratic nation where no man is subjugated or relegated and where the resources freely given to us by God are effectivel­y harnessed and channeled for the good of all.w

“Despite the disappoint­ments, unfulfille­d promises, constituti­onal violations, erosion of personal rights and freedom, and the hardship that have become the order of the day in the last two years, we must not discard our values, and we must not become dejected as there is light at the end of the tunnel.
