The Peoples’ Democratic Party (PDP) has said the county’s leaders and its people must seek the face of God, as this is one of the ways the nation can overcome the challenges militating against her growth.
In a new year message to Nigerians, the ruling party in a statement signed by its National Publicity Secretary, Chief Olisa Metuh called for attitudinal change among the people, urging the leaders of the party at all levels to prepare for the huge challenge ahead.
The statement said: “Our vote for attitudinal change in 2013 is informed by the simple fact the commonest denominator of the systemic challenges facing our national growth is the dwindling fervor of patriotism on which our founding fathers laid the foundation of our dear nation. The adverse implications of this have been manifest in various ills that retard our movement to greatness.”
“As the party entrusted with the mandate of the people, the onus is on us to show the light so that the way will be made perfectly clear to them. All our members elected and appointed into positions of authority at all levels now have a double responsibility of meeting up with the performance target we have already set as well as lead the way, with exemplary conduct, in this course of value change.”
Metuh said the war against corruption and insecurity will be won if the people would once again restore the values which seems to have been discarded.
