Kayode Fayemi, former governor of Ekiti state, has asked Nigerians to stay hopeful and committed to nation-building despite the challenges of the past year.
In a Christmas message issued by Ahmad Sajoh, head of his
media office, Fayemi described the festive season as “a time for hope, renewal,
and reflection”.
He urged Nigerians to draw inspiration from the sacrifices
of Jesus Christ.
“The past year has tested our national resilience,” he said.
“We have confronted economic difficulties, security
concerns, and social upheavals that have left many struggling to make ends
meet.
“Yet, amid these challenges, the strength, resourcefulness,
and enduring spirit of Nigerians have continued to shine brightly.”
The former chairman of the Nigeria Governors’ Forum (NGF)
also implored Nigerians to embrace the values of love, compassion, and
sacrifice while supporting vulnerable members of society.
He also touched on the importance of unity in overcoming the
nation’s challenges.
“As we gather with loved ones this festive season, I urge
all Nigerians not to lose faith in the possibility of a better tomorrow,” he
added.
“Our nation’s history is replete with examples of how we
have overcome seemingly insurmountable obstacles through unity and
determination. This moment, though difficult, shall also pass.”
Fayemi urged governments at all levels to prioritise the
welfare of citizens. He harped on the need for bold leadership and innovative
solutions to the nation’s challenges.
“The coming year presents us with an opportunity to reset
and rebuild,” he said.
“While we cannot understate the magnitude of our current
challenges, we must also not underestimate our capacity as a nation to overcome
them.
“The path ahead requires bold leadership, innovative
thinking, and most importantly, the active participation of all Nigerians in
the national renewal.”
He also prayed that the true spirit of Christmas — love,
giving, and hope — guides Nigerians throughout the coming year.
“I wish all Nigerians a peaceful Christmas celebration and a
New Year filled with hope and possibilities,” he said.
“May the coming year bring relief to our people and progress
to our nation.”
