President Bola Tinubu has advised Nigerians to be mindful of those who are facing all types of difficulties around them.
“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.”
In his Christmas message today, December 24, Tinubu said: “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.”
The President observed that kindness transcends financial status, saying that those with modest means and those with abundance need a smile or a word of encouragement.
“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.”
Tinubu asked Nigerians to honour the brave troops, who have been risking their lives to safeguard the 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.”
According to President Tinubu, Nigeria is on a promising path of restoration and progress, with every indication pointing toward a bright future.
“In the spirit of this season, let us renew our hope and belief in a prosperous Nigeria.”
He said that his government is taking all necessary steps to ensure that the transportation routes are secure and convenient.
“We also provide free train services and subsidized road transport costs on 144 routes nationwide to ease your travels.”
