Senator (Dr) Sharafadeen Alli (APC-Oyo South), has joined others to congratulate Christians in Oyo State and across Nigeria on the joyous celebration of Christmas, describing the season as a divine reminder of love, peace and sacrifice for humanity.
The lawmaker said the birth of Jesus Christ symbolises hope for mankind and calls on Nigerians to embrace the virtues of selflessness, compassion, tolerance and unity, especially at a time the nation is collectively working towards economic recovery and sustainable development.
Senator Alli urged citizens to use the festive period to strengthen family bonds, promote peaceful coexistence among people of different faiths and cultures, and extend love and support to the less privileged in society, noting that shared kindness remains the true essence of Christmas.
While wishing Christians a blissful celebration, the Senator prayed that the joy of Christmas herald renewed hope, good health and prosperity for all, assuring the people of Oyo South of his continued commitment to quality representation and people-oriented legislation in the coming year.
