Akinwunmi Ambode of Lagos State has advised Nigerians to use the season of Christmas to show love and kindness to one another, particularly the less privileged.
He urged Nigerians to use the period to put smile on the faces of people who might not be able to pay them back.
“Christmas is a season that explains the exemplary sacrifice that we should emulate in our relationship with our neighbours, irrespective of status and creed.
“Christmas means so much more than just mere merriment.
“It is an avenue to extend love to the less-privileged who are disadvantaged in several ways,” Ambode spoke through Mrs Toyin Awoseyi, the Permanent Secretary, Ministry of Home Affairs.
“I know that when we turn to God, God will help us out, I want the present administration to continue to fight corruption, but as they fight corruption, they should also embrace godliness and should be impartial, be merciful and be good to all.
“I pray that the good Lord will grant them the grace and the wisdom to take us out of the challenges in which we find ourselves.
“I can see light at the end of the tunnel and by the grace of God that light will guide us to the true light.
“I pray that Nigeria will celebrate a most wonderful recovery in years to come,” he said.
