While urging Nigerians to celebrate this year’s Yuletide by offering special prayers for the nation, he reiterated that the relentless efforts of the President Buhari-led administration would manifest in the long run.

In a statement signed by his Special Adviser, Kunle Oyewumi, Kalu said:

“As we celebrate Christmas, it is important for us to appraise ourselves individually and as a people. Let us in the spirit of the festivity demonstrate propriety and moral values in our daily pursuits.

“Nigeria is blessed as a multi-religious country and as such we should not allow personal sentiments override our collective resolve to have a united and indivisible country.

“We can only attain greatness as a nation through peace, unity and harmony.” Kalu added.

He wished Christian faithful a hitch free celebration, and urged them to extend the Christmas merriment to people of other religious denominations.

Also, the former governor who is currently at his hometown, joined sons and daughters of Igbere to celebrate late Elder (Ezinne) Uwannediya Udeogu of Igbere, Bende LGA, Abia State.
