SYAN urges Nigerians to Show Love, Embrace Peace and Unity at Christmas

Southern Youths Assembly of Nigeria (SYAN) has urged Nigerians to embrace peace, unity and show love for one another as they celebrate Christmas to mark the birth of Jesus Christ. The spirit of Christmas required people to rededicate themselves to friendship, kindness, and compassion.


This admonition was made by the honorable member representing Oyo South Senatorial District and also Chairman, House Committee on Media and Public Affairs, Hon. Adewoyin Tijani Adekola in his Christmas message to Nigerians.


Hon. Adewoyin noted that there can be no doubt that the greater internalization of the virtues of love for our fellowmen, tolerance, Godliness, honesty, fairness to others, selflessness, and peaceful co-existence with others, by all adult Nigerians, and the inculcation of the same in our youth, will help our dear nation to overcome most of its present challenges.


He however advised Nigerians to remember and offer prayers for those facing tribulations, "as we celebrate Christmas, let us also remember and offer special prayers for all of our countrymen, women, and children who have suffered and continue to suffer untold hardship, deprivation, and death at the hands of terrorists and insurgents".


The Journalist cum students' leader also stated in his message the need prayers for our military men who are protecting the territorial integrity of the country by putting their lives on the line for over two million Nigerians to have peace of mind, "we must also continue to pray for our gallant soldiers and security agents who remain at the forefront of the national effort to overcome terrorism and violent extremism, even as the rest of the nation celebrates Christmas and the coming New Year".


In this season of goodwill, SYAN urge all patriotic Nigerians to rededicate themselves to doing all within their powers to support the brave men and women of our armed forces in the ongoing war against terrorism, bandits, and  kidnapping


SYAN remains convinced that God Almighty is still with us as a nation even in the midst of our current challenges which we shall surely overcome with greater unity of purpose, dedication, commitment, and perseverance.


Let this year’s celebration of the birth of Christ the Messiah rekindle, strengthen and reaffirm our faith in our national ability to overcome all challenges, with God on our side.


SYAN wishes us all very happy Christmas celebrations and a new year in advance.
