The birth of the Lord Jesus Christ is significant to all Christians all over the world. We should use the season to give back to our society and add value to people around us.”

The lawmaker stated, “All government policies and laws made so far in this year in Lagos by Governor Akinwunmi Ambode and the House of Assembly led by Rt Hon Mudashiru Obasa, were geared towards the betterment of Lagosians.

Also, the President Buhari led APC government at the Federal level has implemented policies and programmes that has positive effect on the economy and on the people even as saboteurs are after destroying his developmental framework.”

He urged Nigerians to peacefully co-exist as a nation with a vision of utilising the diversity tendencies to strengthen the country’s unity, saying that the growth and development of the country should be paramount to all Nigerians regardless of colour, group, religion and tribe.

The statement reads further, “I felicitate with all Christian brothers and sisters across the world as we celebrate the birth of our Lord Jesus Christ.

To me, the birth of Jesus Christ is synonymous with peace, love, care and giving. I will urge Nigerians to continue to show love to one another and have faith in the leadership of this country despite the challenges facing us as a nation.

“The developed countries we see today at a time faced some certain challenges, but both leadership and followership worked hard together to surmount the challenges to get to the stage they are presently,” he added.
