He noted that Christmas, a celebration of the birth of Jesus Christ, symbolises the fulfillment of age-old divine prophecy and God’s boundless love for mankind.

Morka said that the period exemplified compassion, patience, unity, mercy, and wholesome sacrifice, virtues that Christian faithful should imbibe.

“Christmas teaches of God’s infinite capacity to accomplish the seeming impossible and bring hope and light to even the most difficult situations.

“We urge Nigerians to seize the occasion of Christmas to pray for peace, unity and progress in our land in the year ahead,

while extending love and kindness to neighbours and needy citizens during and beyond this joyous celebration,” he said.

He wished all a merry Christmas and a prosperous New
