“As we celebrate the birth of our Saviour, Jesus Christ, let the spirit of the season- a season of love and happiness, of goodwill and celebrations, be the abiding cords of our unity, prosperity and continuous peace, progress and development,” he stated.
Similarly, Kogi state governor, Alhaji Yahaya Bello has described Jesus Christ as one of the greatest unifying figures in the history of mankind who signifies salvation, peace and goodwill for humanity.
This was contained in the governor's Christmas message to the people of Kogi state where he enjoined them to see the period as a fitting time to renew their sense of wonder at the events surrounding Christ's birth in Bethlehem over 2000 years ago.
Governor Bello urged Kogites to reflect on the joy and peace the world enjoyed on the first Christmas where wise men from far and shepherds from nearby hills, representing all classes of men, joined angels from heaven to herald the arrival of Christ.
