Nigeria on path of restoration, progress, Tinubu assures in Christmas message

“Nigeria is on a promising path of restoration and progress, with every indication pointing toward a bright future”

President Bola Ahmed Tinubu has assured Nigerians that the country is firmly on a promising trajectory of restoration and progress, emphasizing that a brighter future lies ahead for the nation. 

Delivering his Christmas message to citizens in a personally authored piece, President Tinubu urged Nigerians to renew their hope and belief in a prosperous Nigeria as they celebrate the season of goodwill and unity.

The President highlighted the significance of Christmas as a symbol of divine prophecy and the triumph of love, peace, and unity. 

He described it as a time to reflect on the power of light to emerge from darkness, offering hope and solace to all, regardless of faith.

The President called on citizens to show compassion to those in need, emphasizing that kindness transcends financial capacity and can be extended through simple gestures like a smile or words of encouragement. 

He also paid tribute to the nation’s armed forces, commending their sacrifices in ensuring Nigeria’s safety and stability, and asked for prayers and support for them and the country’s leaders.

“On this joyous Christmas Day, I extend my heartfelt greetings to Christians across Nigeria and worldwide as we celebrate the birth of Jesus Christ, as narrated in the Holy Scriptures.

“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.

“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.

“Kindness transcends financial status. Those with modest means and those with abundance need a smile or a word of encouragement.

“We must also honour our brave troops, who risk their lives to safeguard our 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.

“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.
