The Administrator of Adavi LG, Hon. Joseph Omuya Salami has Congratulated Christians in Adavi local government in specific and the State in general for witnessing yet another Christmas, urging them to continue to live peacefully in love and harmony with one another and with adherents of other religions.
According to him: “Christmas is a season to give and expect little in return. A time to preach peace and love. A time to forgive, be more united and forge ahead in the crucial task of building a very strong and vibrant nation.
The Administrator in a Christmas message through his Media Aide, Yusuf Adams, said that God used the birth of “Jesus Christ" to pass the message of peace and love to the world. He further noted that being alive to witness another Christmas is a privilege, judging by the prevailing circumstances in the nation in particular and the world at large. This, he said, calls for joy and celebration.
Hon. Joseph, however advised Christians to celebrate in moderation and to devote much time to appreciate God for His mercies and to reflect on the developmental challenges in the country, with a view to seeking God’s intervention. While noting that Jesus Christ lived up to his appellation as the “Prince of Peace”, Joseph called on Kogites irrespective of their religious affiliations to tow the line of peace which the State needs presently.
He urged Christians to emulate Jesus Christ in words and indeed, adding: “God has used Christmas to teach us the lessons of humility and that He has the power to do all things”. While enjoined the Christian Faithfuls to Pray for His Excellency, Alh. Yahaya Adoza Bello, the Executive Governor of Kogi State and the entire New Direction Family for the Lord's guidance and protection over their lives now and beyond," he said.
“Once Again, Happy Xmas and New Year in Advance”
