Lagos State Governor, Mr Babajide Sanwo-Olu, has rejoiced with residents of the state, particularly the Christian faithful, as they celebrate this year’s Christmas, which marks the birth of Jesus Christ, urging Nigerians, especially Christians, to embrace peace, harmony, and tolerance in line with the teachings of Jesus Christ.
Governor Sanwo-Olu made the call in his Christmas message issued on Sunday by his Chief Press Secretary (CPS), Mr Gboyega Akosile, even as he further urged Lagos residents not to lose hope due to the challenging times in the state and the country at large, but continue to trust in God and have faith in the good intentions of the current administration.

He enjoined Christians to emulate the life of Jesus Christ by making tolerance, meekness, sacrifice, and humility their virtues, in line with the teachings and practice of Jesus Christ during his lifetime.
“As we celebrate Christmas, I am extending my best wishes to every Lagosian and Nigerian, particularly Christians across the state, Nigeria, and other parts of the world.
“Christmas marks the birth of Jesus Christ. So, we must not forget the true essence of the season, which is to reflect on the birth of Jesus and its significance to mankind. We should seize the opportunity of the celebration to strengthen our love for one another by being kind and generous to the people around us.
