The Deputy Senate Leader and Lawmaker representing Kwara south senatorial district, Architect Oyelola Yisa Ashiru has urged Nigerians to be optimistic and work towards the greatness and peaceful coexistence of the country.
Ashiru in a congratulatory message to Nigerians said with God all things are possible, tasking the faithful to love their neighbours as they love themselves and seek peace in the society as recommended by Jesus Christ.
He added that with total commitment to serving God and humanity and prayers there is hope for Nigeria.
” 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, and left mankind with the hope of eternal joy.
” These virtues transcend religion and deserve to be embraced by all Nigerians especially as we go through 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 and do the best we can to bring them succour and help them to also 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 enjoin all to celebrate with moderation.”
