President Muhammadu Buhari has asked Nigerians to embrace love, peace and hospitality during Christmas.

In
his message to the nation on the occasion of Christmas, Buhari urged
the populace to reflect on the “message of hope, compassion, salvation,
reconciliation, forgiveness and peace that Jesus Christ embodies and
conveys.”

He asked Nigerians to show the world that something good can come out of the country.

The
president said he had ordered the security agencies to see to it that
people can celebrate in peace without fears of insecurity.

He added that the future of the country is better than what it had experienced in the past.

He promised to deliver a credible, free and fair election in 2019, saying “my word is my bond”.

“I
felicitate with all Nigerians, particularly our Christian brothers and
sisters, on the joyous occasion of this year’s Christmas, which
commemorates the birth of Jesus Christ,” Buhari said.

“In 2018,
Nigerians have had mixed blessings, typical of human beings. On the
pleasant side, our economy has made significant progress since coming
out from recession and our faithful implementation of the Economic
Recovery and Growth Plan.

“On the downside, we have seen so many
unnecessary deaths caused by violent clashes between neighbours, who
ordinarily should complement and support one another.

“We cannot
bring back the lives lost to floods, unfortunate fire disasters, road
accidents, farmers/herders clashes and insurgency.

“But we can
put back smiles on the faces of the grieving, the displaced and the
troubled, if we show a little love and recommit ourselves to building
relationships with those outside our ethnic, religious and
socio-political divides.

“As we celebrate Christmas, exchange
gifts, pray and visit loved ones, let us remember many others who cannot
be with their families this time.

“Our brave Armed Forces, and
other security men and women who make incredible sacrifices to keep us
safe, the aged, the sick, physically challenged persons, all deserve our
goodwill in this season of love and sharing.

“Together we can
show generosity to our neighbours and demonstrate the diversity that
makes Nigeria unique – a land with a beautiful climate and vegetation,
beaming with an energetic and creative youth population.

“We must not also forget that what lies ahead of us as a nation is better than whatever we must have experienced in the past.

“With
general election around the corner and heightened political activities
across the country, I have charged our security and law enforcement
agencies to secure the sanctity of the ballot box and ensure that the
outcome of the polls reflects the will of the Nigerian people.

“My
avowed commitment to free, fair, credible and violence-free polls is
not a ruse or yet another vain political promise. My word is my bond.

“It is a sworn declaration on the advancement of Nigeria, the future and safety of our young and unborn generations.

“Let
us tell the world that, indeed, something good can come out from
Nigeria. And it will happen, as we all team up to make it happen.”
