As Christians all over the world celebrate Christmas, Chairman of the Niger Delta Development Commission (NDDC), Senator Victor Ndoma-Egba has used the occasion to call for peace and unity so as to hasten the development in the nation.

Ndoma-Egba also urged Nigerians to use the yuletide season to rededicate themselves to the service of humanity in line with the true teachings of Jesus Christ which emphasizes selflessness, piety, brotherly kindness and love towards one another.

In a statement signed by his Special Assistant on Communications, Carson Clara Braide, the NDDC chairman further urged Christian to walk in Christ’s footsteps of love and peace towards one another,  neighbors and to humanity as a whole.

Ndoma-Egba said "more than ever, and even as we head into the new year, Nigerians must pay close attention to the message of love, peace and sacrifice, which Jesus preached during his time on earth.

“In the course of the year, a number of unfortunate incidents have snowballed into accentuating divisions in our country especially in the areas of politics, religion and tribe, there seem to have been constant restiveness, by people of different groups exchanging threats or actual harm. In it all, we thank the Almighty God for bringing us thus far and pray for better years ahead.

“I am confident that Nigeria will emerge a better and stronger nation that every citizen would be proud of. I believe that the Nigeria of our dream is achievable and would be achieved in the life of this Government”

"That is why we need to remember the love that Jesus taught. We must love our neighbors as ourselves. Nigeria cannot move forward as a country until we all realize that there is good in all of us" he said.
