President Goodluck Jonathan
President Goodluck Jonathan has appealed to Nigerians to embrace peace
and pray for the unity and progress of the country as they celebrate the
yuletide season.
Jonathan made the appeal Thursday during a Christmas carol service held
at the Banquet Hall of the Presidential Villa, saying the celebration
of the season is something done both by Christians and non-Christians
alike.
Making biblical allusions to the life and times of David, who was a
warrior king that fought all through his lifetime, the president said
when the Israelis were told that a new king will succeed him they
expected that Jesus will be belligerent, but he came to them with a new
message.
“He came to them with a message of peace,” Jonathan remarked.
