Christmas: Kwara Deputy Governor Prays For Nigeria To Overcome Challenges

Kwara State Deputy Governor, Mr Kayode Alabi, has offered special prayers for Nigeria, asking God to help the country overcome its prevailing challenges.

Alabi and the Christian faithful offered the prayer in Ilorin, Kwara State capital during the 15th Annual Christmas Carol organised by KAM Holding Limited.

Alabi called on Nigerians to remain patient, prayerful and steadfast in their faith, saying the challenges confronting the nation can only be overcome through collective belief in God and unity of purpose.

Represented by the Senior Special Assistant to the Governor on Religion (Christianity), Revd. Timothy Akangbe, the deputy governor urged Nigerians to continue praying for the country and subnational governments, noting that moments of uncertainty require deeper reliance on divine guidance.

He commended the management of the company for sustaining the annual Christmas carol, describing it as a corporate initiative that promotes gratitude, moral reflection and peaceful coexistence.

“We want to give glory to God for sparing our lives. Christmas is a season we cannot forget. The carol season itself brings supernatural joy, and it is on this premise that we rejoice with KAM Holding for sustaining this event for the past 15 years,” he said.

The event attracted prominent personalities, including the Vice Chairman of KAM Holding Limited and convener of the carol, Erelu Bolanle Yusuf; the wife of the Olofa of Offa, Hajia Mistura Gbadamosi; Mrs Jumoke Faysal Harb; and Hajia Bola Gold.

Earlier, Erelu Yusuf had described Christmas as a season that brings joy, love and hope, urging Nigerians to embrace kindness, generosity and have compassion for one another.

She said the yuletide goes beyond festivities, stressing that it teaches care for the less privileged and promotes social harmony within communities.

“Christmas reminds us that the true spirit of the season lies in giving from the heart and being thankful for what we have,” she said.
