Senator Ekweremadu made the call in a Christmas message to the nation regretted that the progress of the nation had been seriously compromised by refusal to forgive. He also said that the current overheating of the polity was partly ego-driven.
He said: “At Christmas, we have to learn to emulate the virtues of selflessness, commitment to common good and total love, which the birth of Christ among men symbolises.
“Whatever the grievances are, we must shove them aside and live in the full consciousness that this is the season of unconditional love demonstrated by God; and whatever our sense of self-importance”.
