Vice President Yemi Osinbajo has urged Nigerians not to exercise fears of insecurity and other challenges ahead of the 2023 elections.
He spoke during the 2022 Service of Nine Lessons and Carols held Sunday night at the National Christian Centre in Abuja.
Osinbajo, represented by the Secretary to the Government of the Federation, Boss Mustapha, said Nigeria would overcome the difficulties as the elections and population census would be conducted peacefully without rancour.
“We’re approaching the year 2023. Yes, we’re going to have elections and we’re going to have a census exercise.”

President, Christian Association of Nigeria, Archbishop Daniel Okoh, in his sermon titled, ‘Lay Down Your Fears’, said Nigerians felt more terrified than at any other time in the nation’s history because of the high level of insecurity and uncertainties within the country’s political economy.
He, however, urged them not to allow fear to cause them to speak the language of despair and division ahead of the 2023 general elections.
He said Nigerians should neither lose hope nor act in ways that would hinder the development and progress of the country.
