Governor Mbah prays for grief-stricken Nigerians, urges love, peace

Governor Peter Mbah says his prayers and thoughts are with those grieving, asking God to comfort them. He also has urged Christians to embrace love, peace and unity as they commemorate the birth of Jesus Christ.
In a statement on Wednesday, the governor recalled that love, peace and unity were the real essences of Christmas.
“I pray that the joy of Christmas be a source of comfort for those who grieve and an eternal flame that lights our path as a nation,” he stated.
He also emphasised the importance of peaceful coexistence to nation-building.
Mr Mbah noted the economic challenges faced by the country and encouraged Nigerians to extend a hand of love and kindness to one another, especially to those in need.
According to him, his government’s policies will eventually deliver the much-needed succour and economic restoration.
“The message of Christmas speaks to the exigencies of every moment. It enjoins us to show love and empathy to all.
“As Christians across the world celebrate the birth of Jesus Christ, may the message of joy inherent in Christmas radiate in our lives and in our dear nation.
“When we imbibe the true message of Christmas – love, peace, and unity – we will see no divisions but a common thread of humanity,” Mr Mbah said.
The governor added that being an end-of-year festivity, Christmas was often an auspicious time to re-dedicate oneself to peace, patriotism and love.
