I felicitate with all Nigerians, especially our Christian brothers and sisters, on the joyous occasion of this year’s Christmas. On this occasion of the commemoration of the birth of Jesus Christ, let us all rededicate ourselves to the virtues of peace, love, honesty, justice, equity, piety, humility and service to others which he taught.
There can be no doubt that a greater manifestation of these virtues and ideals in our lives will immensely help us to become a more united, peaceful, secure and progressive nation.
Let us also reach out in love and compassion to fellow Nigerians who are in distress at this period of our nation’s history.
I particularly urge you all to remember victims of terrorism and insurgency in the country, especially Internally Displaced Persons (IDPs).
The Federal Government will continue to collaborate with state governments and other stakeholders to ease the harsh conditions in IDP camps, while the ultimate objective remains to quickly put an end to insurgency and return the IDPs to their homes.
We must never again allow any group to hold the nation to ransom under whatever guise.
Let us also not allow current socio-economic and security challenges to dampen our expectations for a better Nigeria.
This administration has taken a number of measures to restore hope to our people. The 2016 Budget defines our commitment to giving Nigeria a new lease of life.
Our change slogan is not a campaign gimmick but a promise that must be kept. We are determined to bring about tangible changes in the lives of our people.
In this regard, efforts will be intensified to recover stolen funds, block revenue leakages and enthrone due process, transparency and accountability.
Public office is a public trust that must be held to the highest ethical standards.
I wish all Nigerians a Merry Christmas.
Please drive carefully.

What is merry about the christmas when you intentionally withheld workers salaries?
ReplyDeleteLast year December during campaign, pmb promised that 2015 Xmas will be better. Is it better now? Please am lost here.
ReplyDeleteYou Nigerians are. Very supid sometimes u olways critises, you never support or appreciate things! That is how u will end in ur life! I believe even if it is an Angel governing nigeria, you guys will abuse him! Shame on you!
ReplyDeleteShame on you too, whatever that goes around comes around. The fact remains that there is nothing merry about the christmas without money and the FG haven't paid december salary. The only change we see here is negative, everything turning upside down, may all the negative change being experienced by Nigerians be ur portion, say amen to it.
DeleteFool.
I don't think you are alright, how can workers merry this chrismas with their salaries not being paid? U re the stupid one here.
DeleteI do not support abuse to our leaders but constructive criticism is allowed. However, if you say the President or the administration is abused, I do not think you should blame his abusers but the Law of Karma because that was how the present administration abused the former. So it's paying back now. Don't you think so?
DeleteThe president is felicitating with Nigerians while some commentors are commenting and vomiting rubbish from their gutter mouth. Go and kill urself if you are not part of the Nigerian the president has wished happy celebrations
ReplyDeleteI don't blame u, how can the president felicitate with hungry people? The question here is that what is merry about the christmas when salaries which by right are supposed to be paid on or before 24th of every month, have not been paid considering the yuletide season? Is it a crime for one to air his/her view?
DeleteHow do they have a happy celebration in these conditions? Last year was better.
DeleteDon't blame them thinking straight is a problem
ReplyDeleteHow many companies have paid salaries before xmas but they still wish their workers merry xmas. Even in abroad here too, it happens.
ReplyDeleteLets not be too criticism about some things.
A lot of us did not want PUB.But he is near now.. let us learn to pray for our leaders that God will guide them in the right path. There can be nothing more frustrating than unpaid salaries. But chicken and rice is not the only reason for this season,but a celebration of hope and love and a time of reflection for the year gone by and God has saved us. Peace to us all
