Read President Buhari's Christmas
message to Nigerians
He shared his personal Christmas
message to Nigerians via social
media. Read below
Dear Compatriots,
I heartily rejoice with all
Nigerians, particularly our
Christian brothers and sisters,
on this year's celebration of the
birth of Jesus Christ.
As we celebrate this year’s
Christmas, I believe that it is
very appropriate for us to
reflect on the love of God aptly
espoused in the teachings and
lifestyle of Jesus Christ.
During his earthly sojourn, Jesus
Christ repeatedly reminded his
disciples and followers of peace that
comes in the midst of trials and
tribulations on earth.
There is no better time than now in
our nation’s history to pray for
divine guidance to get over our
current challenges.
We can have peace in Nigeria if we
all learn to tolerate and appreciate
one another, respect constituted
authority; and be our brothers’
keepers in word and deed.
During this period, we should
remember to offer special prayers to
God for all our heroic citizens who
paid the supreme price to restore
peace and security in the North East
and other flash points in the
country. Let us also remember in our
prayers the security forces in the
frontline in the continuing battle to
rid our nation of terrorism and
violence.
We must not forget the Internally
Displaced Persons (IDPs) in our
midst and those who have suffered
untold hardship as a result of
activities of insurgents and
terrorists.
Our immediate priority is to alleviate
the poverty of Nigerians by quickly
stimulating the economy. I assure
Nigerians that our government is
doing its best to make life easier for
all.
Let us therefore, renew our hope in
the God-ordained unity, progress
and prosperity of our great nation.
I wish all travellers safe movements
and a memorable holiday as we
celebrate with our family and
friends.
MERRY CHRISTMAS!
MUHAMMADU BUHARI
President, Federal Republic of
Nigeria
December 24, 2016.
