“This season is yet another opportunity to renew and imbibe the values of love, peace, hope, unity, and sacrifice that Christmas rekindles in order to build a more egalitarian and prosperous Nigeria.

“In particular, I urge the Christian faithful to seize the opportunity of the Christmas season to pray for the peace and prosperity of the nation”.
