The national chairman of the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC), Dr Abdullahi Umar Ganduje, has congratulated Christians across the country on the joyous occasion of Christmas, assuring that by next year’s Christmas, the economy would have stabilised and better.
He noted that the government’s effort in securing the country was yielding results as cases of banditry and kidnapping have significantly reduced.
In a statement by his Chief Press Secretary, Edwin Olofu, Ganduje said the festive season serves as a reminder of the values of love, peace, and unity, as exemplified by the life and teachings of Jesus Christ.
The APC national chairman said it is a time for reflection, thanksgiving, and fostering bonds of harmony that strengthen our collective resolve to build a prosperous and united nation.
Ganduje called on all Nigerians, irrespective of faith or background, to embrace the spirit of togetherness and mutual respect, which are essential for national cohesion.
He further emphasised the need for selflessness, generosity, and care for the less-privileged, especially during this season of giving.
Ganduje further enjoined Nigerians to be patient with the administration of President Bola Tinubu for the bold economic reforms he has embarked upon which have brought discomfort to many, noting that results of the reforms were already beginning to be seen.
The former governor of Kano State added that as the nation navigates its developmental challenges, the APC leadership remained committed to promoting policies and programmes that will bring about sustainable growth, security, and improved welfare for all citizens.
The APC national chairman urged all Nigerians to use the festive period to pray for the continued peace, stability, and prosperity of the country, as well as for the success of the nation’s leaders at all levels of government.
