Amosun Preaches Love At Christmas

Ogun State Governor, Senator Ibikunle Amosun has enjoined Christians to use the occasion of Christmas to renew love and affection to one another.

Amosun, in his Christmas message, said that this is the essence of the celebration of the birth of Jesus Christ, whose life epitomises peace, sacrifice, tolerance and mercy.

The governor in a Christmas message signed by his Senior Special Assistant on Media, Mrs. Funmi Wakama said “it is hoped that the gift of love and great joy which are the hallmark of Christmas, will envelope our hearts this season and in years to come.

“Jesus Christ was a gift to show God’s exceeding love for mankind and we must reciprocate this gesture by imbibing the virtues and ideals of forgiveness, justice, fairness, understanding and meekness, all of which he exemplified.

“With this, we will end 2013 with a renewed mind that will ultimately usher us into a new dawn of unending tranquillity and true brotherhood which Jesus Christ taught and lived for”, he added.

Amosun wished the Christian faithful a merry Christmas and a prosperous New Year.
