The Chief Whip of the Senate, Sen. Orji Kalu, on Friday urged Nigerians to be steadfast, patriotic and optimistic ahead of the new year.

Kalu, who made the call in his Igbere country home, while distributing gifts to his constituents as part of his annual end of year activities, called on well-meaning Nigerians to embrace philanthropy.

He applauded Nigerians for their continued support for President Muhammadu Buhari, and cautioned the political class against inflammatory utterances capable of polarising the country.

The Senate Chief Whip stressed the need for leaders at all levels of government to ensure that the welfare of the people remained a top priority in their agenda.

He added that the government and the governed must play complementing roles in building a prosperous, united and indivisible Nigeria.

Kalu said, “as we approach the new year, it is imperative to reflect on our achievements and challenges as individuals and as a nation.

“No doubt, 2021 was a year of sober reflection and celebrations.

“For the country to attain enviable heights, we must shun acts that will divide the country.
