Senate President, Godswill Akpabio, says the majority of the challenges bewildering Nigeria were not caused by President Bola Tinubu.
Akpabio, however, urged Christians to pray for Tinubu to succeed in the renewed hope agenda of the president’s administration to bring tangible dividends of democracy to Nigerians.
The Senate President equally enjoined the Christian faithful to extend love to one another during the yuletide as they celebrate the birth of Jesus Christ.
Akpabio made the call at the Christmas Day service at the Cathedral of Unity, Methodist Church Nigeria, Wuse 2, Abuja while addressing congregants on Monday, December 25, 2023, to mark the birth of Jesus Christ.
His words: “Today is a special day in Christendom when God gave the greatest gift, his only begotten son to mankind. He is born today in order to redeem mankind. And that birth is what we are celebrating today.

“As we celebrate this season I urge you all to offer your prayers and support for our President Tinubu. I want to thank the Arch Bishop for also praying for the President. Most of the problem you are seeing today in Nigeria were not caused by President Tinubu.
“When people write all sorts in social media, I always say are they aware that this man has just assumed office as the President, but a lot of miracles are being expected from him because people remember how well he performed as the Governor of Lagos State from 1999 to 2007. And today Lagos is one of the largest economies in West Africa.
“For me under President Tinubu I envision a future that Nigeria is secured and people can sleep with their two eyes closed. I envision a future that our children will have gainful employment. I envision a future that Nigeria will be respected in the international community.
“I envision Nigeria that foreign direct investment will come in and many companies which had shut down will reopen for production and boost the economy. Nigeria shall be great again under President Tinubu. We need to pray for him and be patient.”
The Methodist Archbishop of Abuja, Dr Michael Olusegun Akinwale, in his sermon, urged the members of the club to pray for the leaders and support them.
Akinwale prayed for President Tinubu and Akpabio to lead Nigeria to become a peaceful and prosperous nation.
