A national leader of the All
Progressives Congress, APC, Ahmed Tinubu, has urged Nigerians to support
President Muhammadu Buhari to fix Nigeria’s economic problems.
The APC leader made the call in a
Christmas message he signed and circulated through his Media Officer, Tunde
Rahman in Lagos.
He urged Nigerians to learn from
the example of Jesus Christ “who faced and overcame the greatest evil” by
uniting to overcome the country ’s various challenges.
“The challenges facing the
country are difficult ones. Let us unite to overcome our challenges and keep
the hope alive.
“We must support President Buhari
and complement his efforts in his resolve to stimulate the economy and
reposition the country.
“The president needs our support
, understanding and prayers. We must fully break the terrorism of Boko Haram
and completely put down the last vestiges of the terrorists.
“We must continue to pray for the
men in uniform who risk their lives to keep us safe and to end this scourge on
the nation. I commend our troops battling the terrorists . I thank them again
for their courage and bravery.
“Let us remember those who have
been dispossessed of their homes and traumatised by the evil of these
terrorists and pray that they all will be able to return home soon and begin
their lives a new and better.
“Yet , we must do more than pray
. We all have something to give, something to contribute to the greater good .
As Jesus gave of himself that we may live better, we must give of ourselves that
others around us may have a better life.
“Christmas Day , is one of the
most precious days of the year for it celebrates the birth of Jesus Christ.
“Be you Christian, Muslim or just
a human being with a soul that yearns for peace, compassion and hope, Jesus
Christ belongs to all of us . His teachings are universal in application and
speak of truth eternal.
“He reached out to all. Jesus fed
the poor and healed the sick. He spread compassion and charity and preached
love and justice . There are no finer aims than these and we can do no better
than to do all we can to follow his example.
“We must commit ourselves to
peace and unity . Let us eschew all bitterness and bigotry ,” he said
