Read President Buhari’s Christmas Message To Nigerians

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 periodof 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 Nigeriaa 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 ourpeople.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.
MUHAMMADU BUHARI
