Nigerians will enjoy our quality stewardship – PDP

The Peoples Democratic Party has said it would ensure that Nigerians would continue to enjoy the benefit of quality stewardship.

The assurance was contained in a statement issued by Olisa Metuh, the party’s National Publicity Secretary in Abuja on Sunday.

The party charged all its elected and appointed officials at all levels to reciprocate the trust and support shown by Nigerians by redoubling their developmental efforts.

The party also charged its officials to work harder to deliver more democracy dividends to the peoples ahead of 2015.

The party commended Nigerians for their faith, resilience and untiring support for democracy since 1999 and declared that Nigerian citizens were true heroes of democracy.

It said the declaration was after a thorough appraisal of the contributions of the people toward the sustenance of democracy in the last 15 years.

“Indeed, the real heroes of democracy are Nigerians citizens who daily make sacrifices for the sustenance of democratic rule in the last 15 years,” the statement read.

It commended the collective choice and resolve of Nigerians to support and maintain democracy as the only system of government for the actualisation of our collective aspirations irrespective of challenges.

“Nigerians have demonstrated their commitment, not only by continually trooping out in their millions to vote, defying the sun and the rains, but also in their patience and understanding,” it said.

It added that, with the support of Nigerians, the PDP-led government had sustained Nigerian unity and corporate existence as one indivisible nation, and had achieved an uninterrupted democratic rule.

The PDP said it had guaranteed social justice and economic prosperity through strict adherence to the principles of equality and the rule of law.

That, it added, was in addition to guaranteeing human rights, freedom of expression, freedom of information and freedom of association to all Nigerians in the last 15 years.

The statement thanked Nigerians for voting and supporting the PDP since 1999.

It added that, the continued overwhelming victory of the party at the polls remained a clear demonstration of the confidence reposed in it by Nigerians as the only national party.

The statement maintained that the PDP remained the best vehicle for the delivery of democracy dividends to the people.
