Xmas: Governor Fintiri congratulates Christians, urges neighbourly love

Governor Ahmadu Fintiri has congratulated Christians on the celebration of the 2024 Christmas.
The Plateau governor sent out the congratulatory message in a statement on Tuesday.
Mr Fintiri reminded Christians that Christmas, the birth of Jesus Christ, signified hope and salvation brought to the world in need of redemption.
He said the world would be a better place if the values and virtues reflected by the birth of Christ, especially the love for one another, were imbibed and practised faithfully.
The governor said, “It is with great joy that I send you this message of goodwill and warm greetings during this Christmas season. Christmas is a time of rejoicing as Christians all over the world celebrate the birth of Jesus Christ.
“It is an important season in the Christian faith. It is also a time to celebrate the most profound messages of Jesus — Love your neighbour as you love yourself. Do unto others as you’d have them do to you.”
Mr Fintiri further urged Christians to reflect on the reason for the season and noted that Christmas was also a time for reflection and renewal of conviction.
“Therefore, during this season, we should re-examine our commitment to the Christian faith and re-dedicate ourselves to a new and fresh relationship with God.
“In our jubilation during the festivities, let us remember that the true spirit of Christmas is peace, love and goodwill to all,” he stated.
Mr Fintiri also called for support from the people, especially in times of economic challenges.
He assured that “the best is yet to come,” noting that his administration’s commitment to ongoing improvement and progress would be sustained.
“My vision for Adamawa state is centred around repositioning the state and taking it to greater heights,” he said.
