We are people of many different races, tribes and religions, who are knit together by common history, common interests and common ideals. Our diversity maybe great but the things that unite us are stronger than the things that divide us. Families of all creeds and color can rely on these assurance. We have no intention of favoring one religion at the expense of another. Subject to overriding need to preserve law and order, it is our determination that every one should have absolute liberty to practice his belief. It is befitting on this momentous day, on behalf of my ministers and myself, to send a special word of gratitude to all christian missions. Let me conclude this with a personal message, I extend my greetings to all our people who are christians on this great feast day. Let us forget the difference in our religion and remember the common brotherhood before God, by dedicating ourselves afresh to the great tasks which lie before us.
My take:
Sir Ahmadu Bello, Sardauna of Sokoto, a former Premier of the Northern Nigeria, a true nationalist, an icon of justice and unity, a role model. He unequivocally and undoubtedly proved his patriotism.
He had really sent a confederative word to our fellow christian brothers and sisters calling for our unity. Denoted the coalition of our country Nigeria that has different ethnicities and religious practitioners to stands as one entity. I honestly appreciated his message that had reiterated and emphasized us to live happily in love, peace, unity, harmony, appreciation and understanding the differences of one another. May his gentle soul rest in peace.
Therefore, I will like to seize this opportunity, on behalf of myself, my family, APC administration and others, to send my warmly xmas's message to all of my christian friends lively in this medium.
Furthermore, with due honor and respect, I wish to borrow the words of Sir Ahmadu Bello (Sardauna of Sokoto) of the 1959 xmas's message and I willingly and passionately send them again to my christians fellow citizens as my xmas's message for this year and I wish you happy and wonderful celebration come 25th Dec. 2016.
Happy Xmas in advance!
HUDatti.
