As the nation celebrates Christmas, the National Chairman of the All Progressives Congress (APC), His Excellency, Dr. Abdullahi Umar Ganduje, has called on Nigerians to use this festive season as an opportunity to pray for leaders at all levels.

In a statement signed by his Chief Press Secretary, Edwin Olofu, Ganduje emphasized that the festive season serves as a reminder of the values of “love, peace, and unity”, as exemplified by the life and teachings of Jesus Christ.

He noted, “It is a time for reflection, thanksgiving, and fostering bonds of harmony that strengthen our collective resolve to build a prosperous and united nation.”

Dr. Ganduje calls on all Nigerians, irrespective of faith or background, to embrace the spirit of togetherness and mutual respect, which he believes are essential for national cohesion.

He further highlighted the importance of “selflessness, generosity, and care for the less privileged”, particularly during this season of giving.

The National Chairman also urged Nigerians to remain patient with the administration of President Bola Ahmed Tinubu, acknowledging the bold economic reforms that have brought discomfort to many, noting that the results of the reforms are already beginning to be seen.

He assured that by next year’s Christmas the economy would have stabilized and better, noting that the government’s effort in securing the country is yielding results as cases of banditry and kidnapping have significantly reduced.

The former governor of Kano State added that as the nation navigates its developmental challenges, the APC leadership remains committed to promoting policies and programs that will bring about sustainable growth, security, and improved welfare for all citizens.
