January 01, (THEWILL) – The National Vice-Chairman, South-South, of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), Chief Dan Orbih, has praised the resilience, doggedness and defiant spirit of Nigerians in the face of adversity, saying this year will brings more good dividends.
In his new year message to Nigerians, the PDP chieftain said not many citizens around the world could have withstood the challenges faced by Nigerians in 2022, ranging from economic hardship and widespread insecurity, to environmental disaster, embodied by the ravaging floods that claimed lives and properties and displaced many.
Orbih described the Year 2022 as “largely a collection of one unfolding trial to another for citizens.”
He challenged President Muhammadu Buhari to leave the stage as a true statesman with a legacy of free and fair elections.
Chief Orbih called on Nigerians to work towards their hope for a better country by voting for only candidates that offered a better vision for the country, candidates with the track record to match the vision, noting that “we are the architects of our own future; the creators of our own destiny.”
He urged all leaders, beginning from the president, to conclude their terms on a high, working harder than ever to meet the aspirations of the people in the face of the grave challenges of insecurity, economic hardship and social strife. Adding that “you must approach your remaining days in office with a greater sense of urgency, a greater commitment to development and a greater display of patriotism.
“Unity is needed now more than ever; we must unite as a country to defeat our worst enemies, to build a sure foundation for a better future and to achieve inclusive growth and development”, Orbih said.
