The National Chairman of the Labour Party, Barrister Julius Abure, has expressed sadness that most Nigerians will be celebrating this year’s Christmas on empty stomachs due to bad leadership.


He said this in his Christmas message to Nigerians, on Sunday.


Abure, however, called on Nigerians to let the lessons learn from the birth of Jesus Christ guide our lives individually and collectively in other to make the world a beautiful place to live.

The LP National Chairman said, “Nigeria is an example of a nation which God created and ensured that abundance of deposits of resources are huge enough to make us a giant nation.

“Nigeria must have been created as a perfect example of ‘heaven on earth’ but leadership has remain the bane and today, in spite of the abundance of resources, Nigeria is ranked as one of the poorest nations in the world.

“Today, most Nigerians would be celebrating the Christmas in empty stomach due to bad leadership.

“A few days ago, the APC led government with fanfare and heart-thumbing, came up with a policy that guarantees reduction by half, transportation for holiday markers.

“And I sometimes query the level of advise this government gets. In a nation of over two hundred million persons, the government employed the services of only 5 transport company, in addition to the rail services which completely excluded a particular Christian dominated zone.

“The beneficiaries of this social scheme will be less that 0.05 percent of Nigerians.


“The question has always been, what happens after the yuletide when the scheme would have cease to function. Would government also subsidize transport system in Nigeria as it boasted months ago?

“Schools will be opening in early January, how do the poverty stricken Nigerian grapple with that chaos waiting to happen?

“Did it ever occur to this government that a good percentage of those Nigerians travelling may never return to their base due to economic strangulation perpetuated by this government as one of its economic policies?”

He further said, “Christmas is known as the day of remembrance for the birth of Jesus Christ but beyond that significance, it is the remembrance of the day Heaven came down to the earth for the sake of redemption of mankind. His coming was to bring joy to the world by reconciling humanity with divinity.

“He came to make the world a better place but today that purpose is being defeated by the evil actions of men.


“The destiny of nations is being changed by men in the position of authority and the will of God is being continuously subverted by power hijackers.

“In all these uncertainty facing millions of Nigeria, I will still wish Nigerians a happy celebration and also plead with them to keep fate alive because a new Nigeria is not just possible but is already on the horizon.”

You are back to dedicating songs

It seems you just benefited from the free train ride to your village

Always moaning

It's sad really

Almost as if a funeral is ongoing

I don't think Nigerians' hopes have ever been this dashed

It’s really a pity.

My problem isn't that people are celebrating Christmas on empty stomachs. My problem is that despite the severe hunger and inflation, people are still defending this government.

What measures has Tinubu taken to reduce the suffering of the people... nothing, yet you'll see them jumping up and down and calling Peter Obi at any propaganda they're fed with.

Africans truly have a problem.

LABOUR IN VAIN PARTY are 🤡 🤡 🤡s

I thought Obidients were all millionaires and agbados were poor people.

Looser party has open their basket mouth again. In America ,they are cursing the president,in the UK they are complaining,in any society,who will make it,will make it,your success is in your hand.whrn you are busy blaming Tinubu,your neighbour is building mansions,throwing parties every now and then.its even crazy how some idiots thinks that that third class olodo will delivered them from poverty.

Lol

Sadly true.
Nigerians don't deserve what they are getting from their leaders, in face of enormous human and natural resources, plus a market of over 200 million people.

I used to hear people don't have food for Christmas 🎁. This is the first time is going to happen to me but in everything I give thanks to God. No hope for even rice talk of meat. I can't even imagine it. But all thanks to God almighty. May his name be praised

Just too bad

Ozuor

So true and that's too bad..

But if you get to our markets,you can hardly get a breathing space because of the way everywhere is being jam-packed....

Despite the hardship in the land currently,I love the way we, Nigerians are wired.....Cuz we've got the hustling spirit in us.....That every situation we find ourselves in,we always come out as survivors...But that's not the way it should be....At least,we should be enjoying life when we are alive,and not the other way round.....


Any ways,merry Christmas to everyone out there... please let's jesus is the reason for today and love should lead the way and as well let's stay out of trouble today and beyond...

Are u APC er or ELU P er? Am asking cos some people said its only APC ers that will suffer the bad government the ELU P wished this government to be but its seems akpu is suffering more than the Agbados....All in all, if u do your work diligently, u wont suffer like those who already prophesied sufferness to their life cos they dnt like APC.

Labour party and fake sympathy be like 5 & 6 They wan use their yeye mind deceive people again

This is the worse ever Christmas day of my life. No food for my family, woke up to Christmas on an empty stomach with no hope of eating this morning.
I pray that God should help me so that my kid won't be someone else kid
