Former Vice President Atiku Abubakar has called on Nigerians emulate the essence of Christmas and unite for the nation’s greater good.
Atiku said this in a special message to Nigerians on Christmas Day.
He said that love is the essence of the season and Nigerians must show love, generosity and forgiveness towards each other.
“I felicitate with all Nigerians, particularly the Christian faithful, on this significant occasion of Christmas.
“Christmas is a time of love. Therefore, I call on all Nigerians to emulate the essence of this season and unite for the greater good of our dear country.
“Christmas is the season of love, joy, generosity and forgiveness, and while we celebrate with family and friends, we should also spend time to pray for a more peaceful and prosperous nation as it is important for Nigerians to inject the healing and unifying serum of love for our neighbours into the nation’s consciousness, this Yuletide.
“As we celebrate, we should continue to extend hands of love and fellowship to our neighbours and live as one big family, irrespective of our social, political and religious leanings and continue to trust God for a better tomorrow and a greater country,” Atiku said.
