The Christian Association of Nigeria (CAN) has urged Nigerians to use the occasion of Christmas celebrations to be champions of peace, unity and promote genuine reconciliation.
The CAN President, Archbishop Daniel Okoh, made the call on Monday in his Christmas message on behalf of Nigerian Christians.
“Let us be champions of peace and unity, setting aside our differences and promoting genuine reconciliation, understanding, and unity among all Nigerians. In this context, reconciliation signifies more than the absence of conflict; it signifies the presence of genuine love, respect, and acceptance for one another,” Okoh said.
He said that during this season, everyone is reminded to seek to be more like Jesus by reaching out to neighbors with words of peace.
