As Christians all over the world celebrate the birth of Jesus, former president, Goodluck Jonathan took to his official Facebook page to send a Christmas message to Nigerians and also
urged the citizens to be united.

Using the analogy of a football game where team effort brings success, the former president in his Christmas message urged Nigerians to stand firm and embrace unity as that is the only way the country can succeed.

Former president, Goodluck Jonathan said: “I love the game of football, and today, as I was
watching a game, it occurred to me that even the most talented
footballer in the world can not go anywhere if he will not work with
others. Talent may win some games, but only teamwork wins the
Championship. Jesus Christ our Lord, was born to bring people together
and no matter the temptation to pursue individual or group interests
over the collective, let us not forget that you and I belong to Team
Nigeria and we must never allow individual or group aspirations distract
us from the Championship ambition we have as a nation to be a beacon of
hope in Africa and a pillar of the International Community. Merry
Christmas from my family and I to you and your family.”
