According to Jonathan: “My fellow compatriots,
I am deeply saddened by the recent tragic stampede incidents that have claimed the lives of our fellow citizens in various parts of the country where palliatives were scheduled to be shared by public-spirited groups and individuals.
The unfortunate incidents have left all of us in shock and sorrow. My thoughts and prayers are with the families and friends who have lost their loved ones and with those who have been injured.
I urge the authorities to provide the necessary support to the victims and ensure that measures are put in place to prevent such occurrences in the future.
As we navigate through this painful period, I encourage all Nigerians to show compassion and solidarity, especially during this festive season.
Christmas is a time of love, unity, and hope. It reminds us of the importance of caring for one another and working towards peace and harmony in our communities.
I urge every Nigerian to embrace the spirit of Christmas by extending a hand of friendship to those in need and fostering unity across all divides. May this season rekindle our collective resolve to build a nation founded on justice, fairness, and mutual respect.
Let us also pray for the wisdom, strength and resilience to overcome our challenges and for brighter days ahead for our beloved country.
I wish all Nigerians a Merry Christmas filled with joy, peace, and love. May the new year bring renewed hope and prosperity for us all.
God bless Nigeria.”
