The Kogi State Governor, Alhaji Yahaya Bello, has felicitated with Christians in Kogi State and around the world, on the 2022 Christmas celebrations.
This is contained in a statement signed by his Chief Press Secretary, Onogwu Mohammed and a copy available to The Reporters on Sunday in Lokoja.
Bello noted that as the season signified the coming of hope for mankind, citizens should remain positive and have the belief that the current distress among the nations and also being felt, acutely, in Nigeria would soon ease.
The Governor further urged citizens to emulate God’s love for mankind by replicating the same to their neighbours during this season by being generous towards the less privileged in the society, adding that the holiday was perfect for spending quality time with family, friends and loved ones.
He said in addition to sharing happiness, Nigerians could also engage in spiritual reflections and prayers “for the peace, unity and prosperity of our beloved country”.
Governor Bello, who used the opportunity to remind the country, how crucial next year’s General Elections are, urged every registered voter in Kogi State and across Nigeria to make sure they collect their PVCs and vote when the time comes.
While insisting that the APC’s presidential ticket of Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu and Senator Kashim Shettima represent the country’s best chance for renewed hope and a nation that works for all, Bello advised that “voting for one’s choice is a mandatory civic duty which must be taken seriously.”
The Governor expressed “heartfelt gratitude” to the Almighty God for His innumerable mercies to Kogi people, Government and himself.
He assured Kogites that, just like in previous yuletides since the advent of his administration, they should enjoy the 2022 Christmas period without fear as topnotch security measures are in place across the State for their safety.
