 The Christian Association of Nigeria can and the Catholic Archdiocese of Kaduna State want Nigerians to extend hands of love to the poor and the vulnerable people in society, as well as victims of recent attacks in the state. The duo stated this in their Christmas messages as a reflect on the significance of the festive season. They lamented the incessant killings and attacks on innocent citizens, noting that several families have been displaced by bandits. Our pens shouldn't stop from extending love to somebody. And I'm calling on those who care that our brothers and sisters in Kagoro, our brothers and sisters in places where attacks have happened in Sanga and other places in Kaduna, the best we can do to celebrate this season is to extend a hand of love. They should be with their families and celebrate. Also speaking on the forthcoming general elections, the clerics challenged Nigerians to brace for their civic responsibility at the polls. Governments at all levels to create the enabling environment for citizens to exercise their civil rights and duties for the realization of the governance, which is the rightful aspiration of every nation. Similarly, I appeal to the Independent National Electoral Commission, INEC, to do all within its powers to ensure that the forthcoming general elections are conducted in a free and fair atmosphere that enables all illegible citizens to exercise their franchise. My message to Nigerians is that we should be hopeful at this part of the challenges and especially this is the Christmas we will celebrate and in few weeks after Christmas, probably in seven weeks, we will be going to the put for election. Let's be hopeful, let's be hopeful, let's be hopeful. Let's know that God is about to do something in Nigeria. See, I'm not scared at all, despite all we are seeing happening, you know, the enemy will want to discourage us from being hopeful, but let's be hopeful. Christmas brings about hope and this spirit of hope surely kindling in our minds to know that God will visit this country not in a distant time from now and will transform them, but people must be ready to play their own role and what's their own role when it is time for us to go out and vote, come out, cast your vote and let the will of people prepare.
