ANPP Salutes Nigerians on Christmas

The All Nigeria Peoples Party (ANPP) has congratulated Nigerians on yuletide season. The Statement endorsed by the party's national Chairman reads:

On the occasion of this year’s Christmas celebration, the All Nigeria Peoples Party joins the rest of the global Christian family to urge that in the joyful spirit of the season, we rededicate ourselves to the enduring attributes of love of neighbour and country, peaceful co-existence and harmony as well as clutching firmly to those bonds that bind and releasing the lever of those gaps that divide us as one people with a common destiny.

The Joy of Christmas will not be complete without Christians being their brothers’ keepers and also embracing the faithfuls of other religions in the search for a better world.  It is our view that such an attitude will help us to restore love for one another and strengthen our pursuit for lasting peace, enduring happiness and sustainable development.  We should never forget that we were created in the image of God.  We should therefore never be divided by how we worship Him.

We implore our compatriots to remain resolute in the conviction that Nigeria must climb the mountain top and take her rightful place in the comity of prosperous democracies of the world.  We must resolve to conquer poverty, defeat illiteracy, reduce joblessness and more importantly, annul those vices that injure our desire for a new and modern Nigeria that all Nigerians will be proud of and other nations will respect.  We must never forget that respect does not come because you desire it but rather because, you deserve it.  We must work hard for the unity, peace and prosperity of our dear nation.

Finally, we wish all Nigerians and indeed the entire global family, a very merry Christmas.

Dr. Ogbonnaya Onu
