Senator Godswill Akpabio, former Minister of Niger Delta Affairs, wants Christians to see the birth of Jesus Christ, as a time to demonstrate love, peace and unity among Nigerians, irrespective of religious, political and regional convictions for national greatness.
The National Vice Chairman of the APC Presidential Campaign Council who made the call in his 2022 Christmas message also called on Nigerians to continue to pray for their leaders at all levels of governance for them to succeed in office.
“Let me congratulate the Christian faithful all over the world, particularly Nigerians on this year’s celebration of the birth of Jesus Christ. Let us also be reminded not allow the real reasons behind the birth of Jesus Christ to be lost as we celebrate today. We all need to exhibit all the qualities of Jesus Christ, which are unity, peace and love for the celebration to make any meaning.
