Hon. Amode said that: “The party commiserates with the people of Lagos state on the deteriorating conditions of living due to high cost of foods and other households’ items, which we believe will definitely have negative effects on the celebration of this year Eid Al-Adha.
“We urge the Muslim Ummah to use the occasion of this year celebration to pray for our dear state and nation for God to intervene and grant the people the wisdom to choose a liberating party that will put the welfare of the people at the forefront of its policy.
“Without doubt, the Maladministration of the ruling party APC has caused more sorrows and anguish to the people of the state and this is reflected in the mood of the people.
“Our party sympathizes with our Muslim families who are unable to afford the exorbitant price of sacrificial ram which remains the symbol for this celebration.
“We celebrate with the Muslim faithful on the occasion of the 2022 Eid Al-Adha and pray that Allah (SWT) accepts all our sacrifices as act of Ibadah.
The PDP spokesman in Lagos (Hon. Amode) however, reiterated the poise of the party to fix the state across all sphere of human interest if given the chance by the electorates.
“While urging everyone to celebrate the occasion with great care, faith in Allah (SWT) and in love which are the tenets of the Eld Al-Adha, we assure every citizen of the readiness of our party to liberate the state and do everything possible to ensure that the suffering of the people is ameliorated and dividends of democracy reaches every family when you vote PDP to power in the state in 2023.Eld Al-Adha Mubarak!”
