The All Progressives Congress Presidential candidate, Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu, has felicitated with Nigerians on the occasion of this year’s Christmas. In a statement signed by him on Saturday, the front line candidate said the outgoing year has been eventful and challenging to Nigerians but Christmas is a period that calls for celebrations.

The statement which reads in part, “Christmas is a period of spiritual uplift as both Christians and non-Christians are moved to reflect upon God’s love for mankind and what, truly, it means to love your God, your neighbour and yourself.

Thus, I say merry Christmas to the farmer, the student, the labourer, the artisan, the professional, the entertainer, the teacher, the police officer, the market women, the soldier and to all Nigerians.”

Asiwaju also took out time to wish his political opponents well, noting that “no matter our political differences, we are all Nigerians and we must move this nation forward.”

He, therefore, prayed that the joy and great gift of the season form a renewed hope in the heart of Nigerians as we all seek help and guidance of Almighty God above.
