‘Embrace unity, love amid challenges,’ Atiku urges Nigerians in Christmas message

Former Vice President and presidential candidate of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) in the 2023 general elections, Alhaji Atiku Abubakar, has urged Nigerians to embrace unity and love amid the myriad of challenges facing the country.
Atiku who gave the charge in his Christmas message on Wednesday, said the season presents citizens with the opportunity to come together as a nation despite the hardships confronting the country.
The PDP stalwart further encouraged Nigerians to embrace gratitude for the blessings of the season even in the face of economic and social hardships while emphasizing the need to confront the root causes of the nation’s struggles, particularly poor leadership, which he said has contributed to widespread suffering.
“This season reminds us of the importance of love, unity, compassion, and selflessness. It is a time to reflect on these values and come together as a nation despite the challenges we face,” the former VP wrote on his X handle.
“It is also a time to confront the root causes of our struggles, including poor leadership, which has led to widespread suffering.
“I believe in the strength of our unity. With love and togetherness, we can overcome any obstacle,” he added.
