PDP Praise for Political Leaders Against Terror

The ruling People's Democratic Party (PDP) has applauded the nation's political leaders for uniting against terrorism irrespective of differences in party affiliations.

The ruling party in a statement over the weekend signed by the National Publicity Secretary, Olisa Metuh, described the development as unprecedented in contemporary history.
It added that the development had restored the confidence reposed in the political class to provide leadership direction for the nation.

"In uniting, the political leaders not only rekindled the spirit of oneness among Nigerians but also revived the faith in the Nigerian project which was hitherto threatened by unhealthy dissensions. Our political class has shown their commitment to the unity and greatness of our dear country. They have shamed doomsday prophets who relentlessly work against our unity by not only stoking the fires of hatred and dissensions but also by predicting disaster and countless negatives against our dear country," PDP stated.


"Their coming together to present a common front not only speaks volumes to the citizenry regarding the unity of the nation but sends very strong message to those behind acts of terrorism and violence in our land."
The party also commended President Goodluck Jonathan for his efforts in the fight against terrorism.
It called on Nigerians to remain vigilant and continue to stand against actions that encourage violence and terrorism.

"The challenges facing the nation are transitory and cannot defeat the collective spirit of the Nigerian people and their proven determination to live as one. We believe that our country will emerge out of these challenges a renewed, stronger and more united Nigeria. The time has therefore come for all citizens to look ahead and join hands in love to build a prosperous country where all will live in peace and unity irrespective of ethnic, religious and political differences.
