The Nenadi Usman-led Labour Party has urged Nigerian leaders to renew their commitment to selfless service as exemplified by Jesus Christ, whose birth is the reason for the Christmas celebration.
Usman gave this charge in a Christmas message to Nigerians she personally signed in Abuja.
“As the world marks the celebration of Christmas, I extend warm Christmas greetings to the Nigerian people.
“As we observe this sacred season, I urge Nigerians to reflect deeply on the life and earthly journey of Jesus Christ, and on the profound significance of Christmas to the Christian faith.
“Christmas is not merely a festive occasion; it is a reminder of love, sacrifice, humility, and service to humanity.
“I therefore enjoin everyone to exemplify the true meaning of Christmas by extending love, compassion, and empathy to one another,” she said.
She added that the Christmas season should serve as a rallying point for unity and love, especially at a time when the country continues to grapple with the scourge of poverty, insecurity, and other social vices occasioned by poor leadership.
According to her, it is only through the love symbolised by Christ’s birth that Nigerians can confront despair, heal divisions, and overcome hopelessness.
