The Lagos State Governor, Mr. Akinwunmi Ambode and the Lagos House of Assembly Speaker, Mr Mudashru Obasa, yesterday urged Nigerians to see the period of Christmas as an opportunity to rekindle acts of love and kindness to one another, and especially to the vulnerable in the society.

Gov Ambode, in his Christmas message signed by his Chief Press Secretary, Mr Habib Aruna, said the season symbolized love, care and compassion for persons, especially the weak, vulnerable and less-privileged, adding that his message to everyone at this period was to put a smile on the face of persons who may not necessarily be able to pay them back.

He said, “Christmas is a season that explains the depth of God’s love for mankind and exemplary sacrifice that we should emulate in our relationship with our neighbours irrespective of status and creed.

This season is another opportunity to increase our acts of kindness and touch the less privileged in our society. Therefore, this Christmas means so much more than just mere merriment. It is a veritable avenue to extend love to the less-privileged who are disadvantaged in several ways.”
