Christmas: Ogun senator urges Christians to pray for better Nigeria

The Chairman of the Senate Committee on Appropriation and lawmaker representing Ogun West senatorial district, Olamilekan Adeola, has called on all Christians in particular, and Nigerians in general, to use the occasion of the Christmas celebration to reaffirm their faith in Jesus Christ and pray for a better Nigeria as the gains of the Renewed Hope Agenda of the present administration begin to manifest.

Adeola, in a Christmas message to felicitate with his constituents and Nigerians on the occasion of the 2024 Christmas, made available by his Media Adviser, Mr. Kayode Odunaro, said Christmas represents the celebration of the birth of a new dawn for the salvation of souls for all humanity, especially for Christians.

He stressed that with the birth of Jesus Christ, mankind has hope for a better future and the salvation of souls for eternity.

“I want to urge all Christian faithful not to use the occasion of the 2024 Christmas celebration for merry-making only, but to use it as a period of sober reflection and supplication to God Almighty for a better, peaceful, and prosperous future. The needed reforms for the Renewed Hope Agenda of President Bola Ahmed Tinubu’s administration have started yielding some positive results in the gradual strengthening of the Naira, as well as the incipient downward movement of the price of petrol. I urge all Nigerians to see the season as another opportunity for fervent prayers for a new dawn and prosperous future for individuals and the Nigerian nation,” the senator stated.

While acknowledging that Nigerians are going through a difficult period of socio-economic downturn occasioned by many historical local and global factors, the senator urged all Nigerians to look forward to a better future of renewed hope, adding that with abiding faith in Jesus Christ, all present situations will be a thing of the past, with the restoration of desired economic growth, peace, security, and poverty reduction.
