Let us take the time to gather, love, listen and learn from each other and to remember that with the help of God, we can overcome any challenge, achieve any future of which we can dream,” the President said in his message to mark Christmas which is being observed throughout the world today.
According to him, “ The celebration of christmas provides us with an oppportunity once again, to reaffirm our faith, hope and trust in almighty God and his only begotten son Jesus Christ. Imbibe in in us a deeper appreciation of hope in times of adversity and triumph over uncertainty.”
