“Christmas is a time for reflection, hope, and love—a season that reminds us of the boundless compassion of God, who sent His only Son for the salvation of humanity. It is an opportunity to strengthen the bonds of unity, peace, and harmony within our homes, communities, and across Nigeria.
“This season also calls us to care for one another, particularly those who are less privileged, displaced, or facing hardships. Let us open our hearts and hands to share joy and kindness, for it is in giving that we truly embody the spirit of Christmas.
“As Nigerians, we have faced numerous challenges, but our collective strength, faith, and determination continue to shine brightly. Let us remain steadfast in our resolve to build a nation where justice, equity, and prosperity prevail for all. Together, we can make our country a beacon of hope and opportunity.
“As we celebrate, I urge you to remember the true essence of Christmas: love, forgiveness, and sacrifice. Let us reflect these values in our interactions with one another and recommit ourselves to the ideals of service and patriotism that will elevate Nigeria to greater heights.
“May the joy of this season bring peace to your homes, may the light of hope guide your paths, and may the coming year usher in unprecedented blessings and opportunities for all.”
