A former Senate President, Chief Anyim Pius Anyim, has urged Nigerians to look forward to 2022 with renewed hope, optimism and abiding faith in God.
In a Christmas message he personally signed, Anyim stated that although “we may have been stretched almost beyond limits in every facet of life, good news is that our problems don’t define us”.
He noted that Nigerians are hardworking, peace-loving, accommodating and happy people, who should not bow to present challenges.
He said: “We all started this year 2021 with high hopes and expectations. Naturally, as individuals, families, communities and indeed a country, we will retain memories of good and not too good experiences in one area of our lives or another in the year 2021.
“However, whatsoever may have come our way this year, we must give thanks to God for sparing our lives.
“For our country, the challenges we have faced in 2021 may have been daunting. We may have been stretched almost beyond limits in every facet of life. But there is good news. Our problems don’t define us. Nigerians are hardworking, peace-loving, accommodating and happy people.
“We have always overcome our challenges when we pulled together.
Our collective will and determination will always be stronger than our problems.
“Let us therefore look forward to 2022 with renewed hope, optimism and abiding faith in God. “Together we will make Nigeria great again. “I wish Nigerians a joyful Christmas and a peaceful, and prosperous 2022”.
