Obi said that celebration of Christmas birthed hope in the world, saying, Nigerians should be hopeful for a better and
more productive nation.
He restated that Christmas remained a season of love and that the celebration of the birth of Jesus Christ should be a constant reminder of how God gave His only begotten son for the salvation of humanity.
“We, as humans should therefore, endeavour to make sacrifices, even when it is painful, for the good of others and for our society,” he said

“Fraternal love and giving to the poor are the hallmark of Christmas celebration, I enjoin all to lend helping hands to one another,” he said.
Obi urged Nigerians to see the year 2023 as a very significant year in the history of the nation as it presented Nigerians the opportunity to turn around the trajectory of the nation by giving only competent leaders access to power.
He, however, wished Nigerians a productive and prosperous new year.
