Former Vice President Atiku Abubakar has called on Nigerians, especially Christians to rise above division and embrace one another in love as they mark 2025 Christmas celebrations.
Atiku who extended his warm season greetings via his personal X handle on Thursday, noted that Christmas is a solemn reminder of the virtues of love, sacrifice, forgiveness, and compassion; values that Nigeria urgently needs at this moment in its history.
He also said that the season invites everyone to heal old wounds, to forgive, and to recommit to the unity and common destiny of the nation.
