As we celebrate the festive season, Team New Nigeria (TNN) heartily congratulates the Nigerian people for stoically wading through a very horrendous year largely made so by the deliberate pauperization policy of the Tinubu administration istration, an administration that started with the crude and perilous removal of the fuel subsidy.
In a statement issued to our correspondent, Team New Nigeria stated that: “We commemorate Christmas as a day reflecting the birth of Jesus Christ, an event of profound spiritual significance for Christians worldwide. Biblically, this day reminds us of Luke 4:18, where Jesus declared, ” The spirit of the lord is upon me because He has anointed me to bring glad tidings to the poor.
He has sent me to proclaim liberty to captives and recovery of sight to the blind, to let the oppressed go free, and to proclaim a year acceptable to the lord”.
This verse exemplifies Christ’s solidarity with the marginalized and oppressed; therefore, for us, Christmas is a time to reflect on the revolutionary spirit of Christ, who challenged systematic injustice, corruption, and greed.
As we celebrate the festive season, we are reminded of the millions of refugees across Nigeria who are spending this sacred holiday separated from their families, unsure of their future but still hoping for a brighter tomorrow, hoping for a better, better, and greater Nigeria.
We know that for our long-suffering people, hope springs eternal. We urge them to continue to keep that hope alive because help is on the way. As the TNN takes steps to intervene and stop bad governance, we solicit the genuine support of Nigerians for our efforts to reshape the country’s political landscape, shake off the heavy yoke imposed on them by the self-serving and confused AAPC-ledFederal government, and make the country a source of pride not only to its citizens but to the African continent.
We ask all those who are yearning for a better, greater New Nigeria to seize the moment and embrace the engine of change that TNN represents.
