President of the Senate, Dr. Abubakar Bukola Saraki, on Saturday
felicitated with the Christian faithful in the country as they celebrate
Christmas.
Saraki in a statement by his Special Adviser, Media and Publicity,
Yusuph Olaniyonu, also urged Nigerians to use this yuletide season to
rededicate themselves to the service of humanity in line with the true
teachings of Jesus Christ which emphasizes selflessness, piety,
brotherly kindness and love towards one another.
He also reiterated the commitment of the 8th Senate at ensuring that the
country regains her pride among the comity of nations through relevant
and timely legislations. He said the nation can only get out of the
woods, when the citizenry resonate the teaching and doctrine of Christ.
"This is the season of love and forgiveness. It should not be seen only
as a merrymaking period but as a time to pray fervently for a peaceful
and prosperous nation. As a nation, we have passed through series of
challenges but the fact remains that we can only surmount our economic
crisis if we stay united, extend hands of fellowship to one another and
be law abiding.
"We must also rededicate ourselves to the ennobling virtues of faith in
God, love for one another, honesty and peaceful coexistence. It is time
to make these virtues more evident and practical in our daily lives,"
Saraki stated.
In doing this, the Senate President said the indomitable spirit of
Nigerians will continue to enable people apply realistic and practical
steps towards renewed prosperity for all.
He therefore wished all Nigerians a Merry Christmas and a prosperous New Year in advance.
