Christmas: Olubadan felicitates Christians, calls for emulation of Christ’s virtues

The Olubadan of Ibadanland, Oba (Dr) Akinloye Owolabi Olakulehin, has felicitated Christians all over the world, asking them to emulate the virtues of Jesus Christ.

The paramount ruler at his palace, Oke-Aremo, Ibadan, gave the Christmas message on Tuesday.
Stressing the need to love one another, the monarch stated that the lack of genuine love amongst citizens is the bane of our society and indeed the world.

He stressed the need for a love of Christ-driven world that will eliminate all the vices and injustice at all levels pervading our society and man’s inhumanity to man across the world.
“Christmas is a season of love as it commemorates the birth of Christ in whom God showed his love for the world,” he said.

“My admonition in this season is for us to embrace love as a way of life for a better Ibadan, Oyo State, Nigeria, and the world at large.”

He also appreciated the support of the Olubadan Advisory Council, Executive members of the Central Council of Ibadan Indigenes (CCII) traditional title holders, Mogajis, Baales, palace staff, and the entire indigenes and residents of Ibadanland, wishing them a merry Christmas and Happy New year in advance.
