Africa-Press – Nigeria. <\/strong><\/span>A former Presidential candidate and a chieftain of the All Progressives Congress, APC, Gbenga Olawepo-Hashim, has felicitated with the Christian faithful as they celebrate Christmas.<\/p>\n

In a statement released by his media office in Abuja, he urged Christians and Nigerians, in the spirit of the season, to uphold the principles of love, tolerance and sacrifice to sustain harmony, progress and advance the cause of humanity.<\/p>\n

He added that the Christmas season represents joy, peace, hope, love, and goodwill, all of which are very much needed in Nigeria as it is confronted with diverse development challenges.<\/p>\n

\u201cI urge fellow Nigerians to appropriate the hope that comes with Christmas and reinvest trust in God\u2019s ability to restore the lost glory of Nigeria,\u201d he added.<\/p>\n

He equally admonished Nigerians to reflect on the lessons of the period and emulate Christ by fostering peace and unity while also tasking Nigerians with being religious.<\/p>\n

\u201cMore importantly, as we observe Christmas this year, let us all imbibe the essential message of Christ\u2019s ministry and truly begin to love our fellow Nigerians as we love ourselves,\u201d Olawepo-Hashim added.<\/p>\n
