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
