President of the Senate, Ahmad Ibrahim Lawan has
congratulated Christians in Nigeria on the occasion of this year’s Christmas
festivities.
The Nation’s Chief Lawmaker in a Christmas message via his
verified Facebook page also tasked the faithful to love their neighbours as
they love themselves and seek peace in the society as recommended by Jesus
Christ.
In the message, Lawan 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 the 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”.
He assured them that the National Assembly will continue to
promote good governance in order to overcome the nation’s development
challenges and set the country firmly on the path of progress, peace and unity.
According to Lawan, the ninth National Assembly had been
working with the Executive Arm in the last three and a half years to improve
service delivery by the government and all its institutions, to raise the
standard of living of Nigerians.
“In true spirit of this August occasion, let us also
remember to pray for divine guidance for those piloting the affairs of our
country, Nigeria”, he posted.
