> “I heartily felicitate with Nigerians, particularly the Kwara South Christian faithful, on the Christmas and New Year festivities.
> “Christians and Nigerians in general must not forget the essence of the season, which is a reminder of the birth of Jesus Christ and the ideals for which He lived.
“The birth of Jesus Christ is a great example of humility. He lived and preached peace, love, tolerance, and self-sacrifice, leaving mankind with the hope of eternal joy.
“These virtues transcend religion and deserve to be embraced by all Nigerians, especially as we navigate the challenges of nation-building and development.
“In the spirit of the season, we, as a people, must remember the weak and the most vulnerable in our midst. We should do our best to bring them succor and help them feel the joy of the season.
“I wish you all journey mercies as you move around to share the season with family and loved ones, and I enjoin everyone to celebrate with moderation.”
