‘New dawn nears’ – President Tinubu sends Christmas message to Nigerians

President Bola Tinubu asked Nigerians to be patient with his administration once more on Sunday, promising that the country would “shortly emerge into a new dawn of prosperity, peace, and irreversible progress.”

The President stated that he would continue to implement palliative measures to alleviate the hardship caused by the discontinuation of the fuel subsidy and the unification of the exchange rate, among other economic changes implemented by his government.

The President acknowledged that the previous six months of his administration “has been a time of transformation and relentless change in our country” in a personally signed Christmas goodwill message released by the State House on Sunday.

“I am aware that the necessary reforms we are implementing to achieve a more prosperous, peaceful nation for all have imposed unique sacrifices,” he said, and therefore appealed to Nigerians to “hold fast and rest assured” of his commitment to “govern with vision, dedication, and empathy,” as he transits the nation “to stability, prosperity, and Renewed Hope.”

“Be confident that by the strength of our joint endeavour, we will shortly emerge into a new dawn of prosperity, peace, and irreversible progress,” Tinubu said.

He promised that “my administration will continue to implement palliative measures to ease the burden on the most vulnerable, address current hardships and alleviate the suffering of all our nation’s people.

“Fellow Nigerians, Christmas is a special time of the year for all of us. For Christians, this time of the year marks the birth of Jesus Christ and celebrates the hope and redemption that are the hallmarks of Christ’s life.”

“For people of all faiths, this is an opportunity to enjoy the company of family, celebrate life, and delight in the gifts of love and friendship that make life worthwhile.

“This is also a time to look out for each other because, amidst the festivities, this time of year for many will be tinged with sadness: some mourning the loss of loved ones and others grieving the hopes that failed to materialise and the dreams that fell short,” Tinubu said in his maiden Christmas message to Nigerians as President.

He also urged Nigerians to, in the spirit of Christmas and reflecting the best of Jesus Christ, extend the warm embrace of kindness to those around them who need it.

“…and let the multiple acts of kindness serve as a light that guides us into a happy and wonderful new year,” he advised.
