Biodun Ajiboye, executive secretary/CEO of National Institute for Cultural Orientation (NICO), has called on Nigerians to use the yuletide season to  pray for the continued  success of President Bola Tinubu’s ‘Renewed Hope Agenda.’

He made the call in a statement, conveying his goodwill message as Nigeria joins the rest of the world to commemorate this year’s Christmas.

Mr Ajiboye called on Nigerians to embrace the virtuous principles that the season embodies, urging them to use the season to extend love and generosity to one another and as well pray for their leaders.

“The Christmas season in Christendom symbolises joy, peace, hope, love, goodwill, and the promise of salvation.

“These values, exemplified by the advent of Jesus Christ, are profoundly needed in our nation today, particularly as President Bola Tinubu diligently works to revitalise our economy.

“There is need to use this season for prayers for the continued success of President Tinubu’s “Renewed Hope Agenda’, which  has already begun to yield positive results.

“The increased engagement of world leaders with the president on potential collaborations will not only bring development to the country but also re-establish it as a leading power in Africa.

“I implore our Christian compatriots to utilise this season to fervently pray for our beloved nation, Nigeria; let us strive to live together in harmony so that we may prosper as a nation,” he said.

The NICO chief, therefore, charged Nigerians, irrespective of tribal and religious divides, to continue to champion courses that promote unity, understanding, peaceful coexistence, and national development.
