Ahead of tomorrow’s Christmas celebration, Senate President Ahmad Lawan has urged Christians to spread the messages of love, peace, hope and tolerance exemplified by Jesus Christ.
In his message of goodwill, Lawan congratulated Christians and assured Nigerians that the National Assembly would keep pushing for laws that would enhance the nation’s progress and goodwill.
He said: “I heartily rejoice with Christians in Nigeria as they celebrate this annual festival of the birth of Jesus Christ. The life and teachings of Jesus Christ enjoins his followers through holy living to be the light and salt that make the world brighter and better for mankind.
“Jesus Christ also commanded his followers to love their neighbours just as they love themselves and to seek peace in society. Abiding by those great instructions is important for Christians everywhere and for all of us in Nigeria as we seek to build a virile and happy nation.”
