Defence chief advises Nigerians to use Christmas to unite
The Chief of Defence Staff, Christopher Musa, has called on Nigerians to unite against the nation’s adversaries in support of the Armed Forces of Nigeria in the spirit of Christmas and New Year celebrations.
Mr Musa said this in his Christmas message on Sunday in Abuja.
The defence chief also expressed gratitude to the armed forces and Nigerians for their unwavering commitment, adding that the sacrifices of all uniformed heroes defending the nation should be acknowledged.
“Let us face challenges with unity and courage. Your bravery will not go unnoticed, and we commit to continuous support. May the festive spirit bind us as one, and the warmth of shared destiny resonate beyond this season. My fervent prayer is that, as we revel, we align with Christ’s teachings of peace, love, and harmony.
“Seizing this moment, I call on all Nigerians to unite against common enemies, support our motivated armed forces’ steadfastness in defending our nation’s integrity. As we bid farewell to the year, look to the New Year with renewed hope and stay vigilant and resolute in protecting our nation.
“With the commitment of all Nigerians, we will secure our dear nation.
“Wishing you a Merry Christmas and a prosperous New Year. God bless the Federal Republic of Nigeria,” he said.
