“I rejoice with the Christian faithful and indeed, all Nigerians on the occasion of this year’s Christmas.
“I urge the Christian faithful, therefore, to remain steadfast in adhering to the tenets of Christ’s teachings on this Christmas, now and always,” his message read in part.
He enjoined all Nigerians to pray for and rekindle trust in the Renewed Hope Agenda for a brighter future under the purposeful, caring and humane leadership of the current administration.
