In her Christmas message to the nation, Senator Tinubu sincerely appreciated the “steadfast support and patience as we strive to create a better Nigeria.”
She said, “I want to assure you that under the administration of President Bola Ahmed Tinubu, we are committed to positive reforms that will benefit every Nigerian. Most of which are already yielding positive results.
“As this year comes to a close, let us hold onto the belief that better days are ahead. Let us continue to love and support one another, foster unity, and embrace the diversity that makes our nation so great.

Earlier today, President Bola Tinubu felicitated with Nigerians and Christians worldwide on the 2024 Christmas celebration.
Naija News reports that in a statement he signed on Tuesday, Tinubu urged citizens to be kind to those facing difficulties and offer encouragement.
The president also urged Christians to pray for the nation’s leaders at all levels, stressing that Nigeria is on the path to restoration and progress.
Tinubu also expressed sadness over the death of Nigerians involved in the recent stampedes in Oyo, Anambra and the Federal Capital Territory (FCT).
The statement reads, “On this joyous Christmas Day, I extend my heartfelt greetings to Christians across Nigeria and worldwide as we celebrate the birth of Jesus Christ, as narrated in the Holy Scriptures.
“Christmas embodies the fulfilment of divine prophecy and symbolises the triumph of love, peace, and unity. It is a poignant reminder that light can emerge even in the darkest times, bringing solace and hope. This belief resonates with people of all faiths. Indeed, God is with us.
“Recent tragic events in Ibadan, Okija, and Abuja deeply sadden us, and our thoughts are with those who continue to suffer from these heartbreaking incidents. We earnestly pray that such misfortunes do not revisit our families and communities and that the lives of innocents are never again cut short.
“I offer my deepest sympathies to the families enduring pain and loss this year, whether from floods, fires, or accidents. May we all find comfort and solace in our faith, the support of loved ones, and the abiding presence of Jesus Christ. Our compassionate and merciful God stands with the weak, the brokenhearted, and the sick.
“As we celebrate this blessed season, let us be mindful of those facing difficulties. They are not far from us—our neighbours, family members, and the people we encounter daily, whether in places of worship, markets, offices, or boardrooms.”
