PEOPLE’S DEMOCRATIC PARTY (PDP).PLATEAU STATE CHAPTER, 20/2 YAKUBU GOWON WAY OPP NTA JOS PLATEAU STATE.
11th DAY OF APRIL 2020.
EASTER FELICITATION TO PLATEAU CITIZENS.
As Holy Easter is to us all as a people,The people’s Democratic party(PDP) wishes you all a happy Easter celebration despite the difficult situation the world is facing and particularly as our dear state is in total lockdown during this significant festival of commemorating the death and resurrection of our Lord Jesus Christ as a result of this invisible dreaded pandemic.
This year’s celebration is indeed different because of the circumstances we find ourselves in which will hinder us from usual merriment of the season where we come together to celebrate as a body of Christ and hosting family &: friends in our homes.
It is our believe as a party, that things will soon return to normalcy. Therefore, let us use this occasion for self atonement especially at this trying time,as we are engaged in a battle like never before with this invisible enemy. This is indeed the reflection of bad sign of the moment, therefore do not despair, this too will pass away through the help of Almighty God.
The PDP on the plateau wishes to use this moment to acknowledge efforts being put in place by our medical personnels who are at the front line of this situation, we appreciate what they are doing despite the unfavorable & deplorable conditions in the health sector, particularly here on the Plateau. We lack the necessary facilities, equipments,manpower & preparedness to handle this pandemic in case of an outbreak apart from the ongoing skies and roads commercial show of fumigation without appropriately enlightening the public on the type & class of the fumigant used and assuring those with health challenges(asma etc)to take precaution.
We must also thank our traditional rulers, religious leaders,and the good people of plateau for their prayers and support as we all together navigate this global pandemic.
As a party, with democratic ideals, we implore you all to cooperate with the government by observing the rules of social distancing and regular washing of hands not minding the non observance of social distancing by governments itself which Violet its own directives of not more than 50 people in a gathering as was seen during the wedding of SGS’s daughter and also yesterday’s street fumigation at Ahmadu Bello way. We call on all to adhere strictly to the practice of safety guidelines and good personal hygiene, by so doing our state will not witness any casualty of this virus at the end we will all rejoice and glorify God for His Mercies over us and life will return to normal.
Finally, let us not lose sight that no tomb in the world could contain the Lord Jesus for long. His death on the cross purchased our redemption and His triumph over the grave on Easter defeated death. His resurrection rekindles hope; that just as he rose from the dead we too, will rise again with him in eternity.
May the Mystery of Easter deepen our faith, hope and love for one another.
Happy Easter…..
Signed…
