As Christians commemorate the birth of
Jesus Christ, the National Chairman of the All Progressives Congress, John
Odigie-Oyegun, has called on Nigerians — Christians and non-Christians alike —
to reflect deeply on the virtues of love, tolerance, godliness, honesty,
fairness, selflessness and peaceful co-existence which the Messiah espoused
during his earthly mission.
He urged Nigerians to shun
hatred, divisiveness and promote national unity.
He also urged Nigerians to pray
for the military and other security agents fighting to overcome terrorism and
violent extremism as well as prayers for victims and displaced persons in the
insurgency-ravaged North East.
Mr. Odigie-Oyegun further urged
religious leaders to pray for the nation and its leaders continuously, as the
prevailing situation in the country called for wise counsel and divine
intervention.
