President Buhari promises not to abandon his promises to Nigerians in Christmas message
President Muhammadu Buhari has sent his Christmas message to felicitate Christians in Nigeria as they join fellow believers all over the world to celebrate this season.
His Christmas message was contained in a statement by the Special Adviser to the President on Media and Publicity, Femi Adesina, titled, ‘President Buhari’s 2021 Christmas message’.
Buhari in the statement again expressed his administration’s commitment to uplifting the quality of life of all citizens, saying he will not abandon the promises made to Nigerians.
He frowned at the criminal activities of those he described as ”the wicked ones amongst us”, noting that despite the remarkable successes generally recorded, the country has been facing some challenges.
He said: ”Our courageous security forces, bolstered by the necessary support from this administration, daily confront the wicked ones amongst us, who continue to threaten the peace of the land.
He explained that the government will not abandon the promises it made to Nigerians for a better lease of life noting that the diversification of the economy embarked upon was yielding results.
According to the President, Christmas is a season when hope is rekindled, stressing that it is in the midst of hardship that the true test of a country emerges.
Buhari urged Nigerians to invoke the indomitable spirit in them and see the present order of things as a phase that would also pass, just like other unsavory situations in the country’s history.
The President, however, said that for the second Christmas running, the world would not be able to celebrate as it used to in years past.
According to him, the Covid-19 pandemic, with its impact, has remained with mankind, mutating and leaving devastating consequences on the economy, social interaction, and curtailing certain freedoms.
He appealed to Nigerians to embrace vaccination and urged those who have taken the two doses to go ahead and take the booster, as advised by the Presidential Steering Committee, PSC.
Buhari emphasized the need for COVID-19 precautionary measures to be taken seriously. He urged Nigerians to embrace vaccination which he said is the best scientifically known fortification against the pandemic.
