Full text of their independence message signed by Olisa
Metuh after the cut ...
"The Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) charges Nigerians to
use the occasion of the nation’s 55th Independence
Anniversary to rekindle the spirit of patriotism, while
exhibiting actions that promote democratic ideals and
peaceful co-existence at all levels in the country. The
party said the occasion reminds of Nigeria’s common root
and destiny as well as her resilience and determination to
succeed in all spheres of life as a strong, united and
prosperous nation, irrespective of her challenges. The
PDP, in a statement signed by the National Publicity
Secretary, Chief Olisa Metuh on Wednesday,
congratulated the citizens for keeping faith in the Nigerian
project and working together in building a strong nation
and one of the fastest growing economies in the world."
"The party however urged Nigerians to use the anniversary
to recommit to respecting their leaders at the local
government, state and national levels, while paying
adequate reverence to national symbols and institutions.
“In this regard, the PDP urges all citizens to have full
respect for the office and person of the symbol of the
leadership of our great country, the President. The
President can be constructively criticized, but under no
circumstance should he be abused or insulted in any way
and under any guise whatsoever. “On this note therefore,
we expect those around our dear President to be cautious
and desist from actions and utterances that tend to set
him up for public ridicule”, the party stressed. The party
congratulated the nation for giants strides achieved since
independence, especially within the 16 years under the
PDP led-administration, during which enviable milestones
were recorded in critical sectors of the polity. It assured
that even in opposition, it would continue to ensure that
the country is not dragged back to the dark years of
dictatorship by firmly defending the tenets of democracy
and provisions of the constitution."
"The party insisted that the feat achieved through the
successful conduct of 2015 general elections and the
smooth transition, all resulting from the democratic
disposition of PDP leaders, must be sustained, as the
country cannot afford to degenerate from its globally
acclaimed democratic credentials. It also commended the
military for the success recorded in the fight against
insurgency in the country even as it commiserated with
all those affected by the senseless acts of terrorism and
violence. It also charged those behind the bloodletting to
have a rethink and understand that their actions cannot
be justified under any guise. The leadership of the PDP
prayed for abiding peace in the country and wished the
government and people of Nigeria, happy independence
celebrations.
