President Bola Tinubu on Tuesday urged Nigerians to renew hope and belief in a prosperous Nigeria in the spirit of the season.
The President said this in a personal message to Nigerians, wishing them a Merry Christmas and a joyous and prosperous New Year.
“On this joyous Christmas Day, I extend my heartfelt greetings to Christians across Nigeria and worldwide as we celebrate the birth of Jesus Christ, as narrated in the Holy Scriptures.
“Christmas embodies the fulfilment of divine prophecy and symbolises the triumph of love, peace, and unity.
“It is a poignant reminder that light can emerge even in the darkest times, bringing solace and hope. This belief resonates with people of all faiths. Indeed, God is with us,” wrote the President.
He said that recent tragic events in Ibadan, Okija, and Abuja deeply saddened him and all Nigerians.
“Our thoughts are with those who continue to suffer from these heartbreaking incidents.
“We earnestly pray that such misfortunes do not revisit our families and communities and that the lives of innocents are never again cut short.”
Tinubu offered his sympathies to the families enduring pain and loss this year, whether from floods, fires, or accidents.
“May we all find comfort and solace in our faith, the support of loved ones, and the abiding presence of Jesus Christ. Our compassionate and merciful God stands with the weak, the brokenhearted, and the sick.
“As we celebrate this blessed season, let us be mindful of those facing difficulties. They are not far from us — our neighbours, family members, and the people we encounter daily, whether in places of worship, markets, offices, or boardrooms,” he said.
According to the President, kindness transcends financial status, and that those with modest means and those with abundance need a smile or a word of encouragement.
“We must also honour our brave troops, who risk their lives to safeguard our nation. They deserve our prayers and steadfast support.
“Let us extend similar support and prayers to our nation’s leaders. With your backing, we can serve our country diligently and strive for prosperity,” wrote Tinubu.
He said Nigeria was on a promising path of restoration and progress, with every indication pointing toward a bright future.
“For those travelling during this festive period, I wish you safe journeys. Rest assured, the government is taking all necessary steps to ensure our transportation routes are secure and convenient.
“We also provide free train services and subsidised road transport costs on 144 routes nationwide to ease your travels,” concluded the President. (NAN)
