The All Progressives Congress (APC) has enjoined Christians and all Nigerians to imbibe the many positive lessons of the birth of Jesus Christ by rededicating themselves for the greatness of Nigeria.
The APC did as Christians all over the world celebrate Christmas, the birth of Jesus Christ.
“The special day is as momentous as it is significant. While we celebrate with our family and loved ones, all Nigerians must fully appreciate the need to redouble our efforts in the quest to ensure the peace, progress, stability and economic prosperity of our great country,” the APC said in a statement on Tuesday.
According to Lanre Issa-Onilu, the party’s national publicity secretary, “Achieving these noble objectives would only be realised if exemplary virtues such as peaceful disposition, sacrifice and tolerance, which Jesus Christ’s life embodied, are practised in our day to day life.”
He added: “While the President Muhammadu Buhari APC government truly appreciates all Nigerians for their support and cooperation so far, we call for more support in order to ensure that Nigeria continues on its current trajectory of sustainable economic growth, development and prosperity.
“We assure all Nigerians that the Federal Government would not shirk in its onerous duty to keep all Nigerians safe this Christmas and beyond.”
