Gov Ahmed Urges Christians to Preach National Rebirth, Pray for Peace at Christmas
The Kwara State Governor, Dr Abdulfatah Ahmed has urged Christians in the country to use the periods of the celebration of the birth of Jesus Christ and the New Year to preach national rebirth and transformation and also pray for peace and unity in the country.
Governor Ahmed, in his Christmas and New Year message to the people of Kwara State and Nigerians at large said the period should also be seen as a season of showing love, especially to the needy in the country.
In the statement signed by his Chief Press Secretary, Alhaji Abdulwahab Oba, Governor Ahmed said Nigerians must always project the virtues of humility, self denial and brotherliness, which are the hallmarks of the teachings of Christianity and other religion.
According to the Governor, "I do believe that at this period, more than any other time in our national history, Nigeria needs God's favour which we can get through fervent prayers, show of compassion for others and unity against hatred and avarice. These are the lessons we should take away from this festive season".
Dr Ahmed commended Christian religious leaders in the State for promoting religious harmony through their preaching with a charge that they should up the ante this season and beyond.
Governor Ahmed assured the people of Kwara State that his administration will continue to be fair and just to all religion adherents and also committed to the realization of the objectives of the Shared Prosperity Programme designed to transform the State into the most industrial and economically virile State in the country.
