The National Chairman of All Nigeria Peoples Party (ANPP), Dr Ogbonnaya Onu, on Monday urged Christians to be good ambassadors where ever they found?themselves.
This is contained in a statement signed by?the National Chairman of the party, in Abuja.
“ We join 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.
“With 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,” Ogbonnaya said.
He said the Joy of Christmas would not be complete without Christians being their brothers’ keepers and embracing people belonging to other faiths 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,” he advised.
The?ANPP chairman?implored Nigerians to remain resolute and be convinced that Nigeria would take her rightful place in the comity of prosperous nations of the world.?
He urged the Federal Government to formulate policies that would conquer poverty, defeat illiteracy and reduce joblessness in the land.
He also urged the government to tackle those vices that injured our desire for a new Nigeria that all Nigerians would be proud of and other nations will?accord 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.
“We?in ANPP wish all Nigerians and indeed the entire global family, a very merry Christmas.” (NAN)
