As we celebrate this joyous season of Christmas and prepare to welcome a new year, the Nigerian Southern Senators Forum, extends our warmest greetings and best wishes to you and your families.
Christmas symbolizes love, hope, and renewal. It reminds us of the enduring power of faith and unity to overcome challenges and build a brighter future. As we celebrate, let us embrace the spirit of the season by spreading joy, sharing with those in need, and fostering peace in our communities.
The forum recognizes the economic challenges facing many families in our country today. These are difficult times, but they also present an opportunity for growth and transformation. We commend the bold reforms and initiatives of President Bola Ahmed Tinubu’s administration, which are aimed at laying a solid foundation for sustainable economic growth, peace, and prosperity in the medium and long term. These reforms require our collective support and understanding as we work together to achieve the Nigeria of our dreams.
As we enter the new year, let us renew our commitment to living in peace, tolerance, unity, and mutual understanding. Our strength lies in our diversity, and by working together, we can build a nation that is inclusive, prosperous, and strong.
We urge all Nigerians to remain hopeful and to keep faith alive. Let the joy of this season inspire us to persevere, knowing that better days are ahead. Together, through resilience, unity, and dedication, we can overcome any challenges and create a brighter future for ourselves and generations to come.
May this Christmas bring blessings to every home, and may the new year usher in a season of peace, progress, and prosperity for our nation.
Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year!
Senator Mukhail Adetokunbo Abiru, FCA
