Former President Dr Goodluck Ebele Jonathan has sent his felicitations to Nigerians and Christians around the world on this year’s Christmas Celebration.
In a statement released by his media office on Sunday signed by Wealth Dickson Ominabo, Jonathan urged Christians to exhibit love, peace, humility and sacrifice as they celebrate. He noted that the birth of Jesus Christ marks a new beginning and a new destiny for all believers, as it serves as the fulfillment of many prophecies about the coming of the Saviour who will save us from sin and other difficulties.
Jonathan urged citizens to “make the most of this season to rebuild our country by showing love to our neighbours and upholding moral principles that will deepen the thread that binds us together as a people.”
According to him the story of Christmas is an inspiring one and the celebration should reawaken faith in God and in Nigeria as a nation.
“To all citizens, this period should serve as a moment to reawaken our faith in God and our country and live with the assurance that despite our challenges, we can surmount them through our shared acts of love and faith.
“Let us make the most of this season to rebuild our country by showing love to our neighbours and upholding moral principles that will deepen the thread that binds us together as a people.
“Let us utilize this opportunity to provide hope to those in need and take steps that will contribute to advancing our nation’s progress.’’
