Adeleke Felicitates Christians At Christmas

Governor Ademola Adeleke of Osun State has felicitated with Christians in Osun State and beyond on this year’s Christmas celebration, urging them to follow Jesus Christ’s example of compassion and tolerance.

Governor Adeleke, who described the birth of Jesus Christ as a defining moment for mankind, said the festive season is a solemn reminder of the power of love and how it can save humanity.

While recognising unity and togetherness as an important message that Jesus Christ’s life resonates, Governor Adeleke, in a statement made available by his spokesperson, Mallam Olawale Rasheed, charged Osun people, particularly Christians, to draw from the spiritual import of the celebration by sharing love and fostering harmony in communities.

“I extend my warm wishes to the Christian faithful in Osun state and beyond as we mark this year’s Christmas. The birth of Jesus Christ manifests the power of love and reminds us of the essence of compassion,” the Governor noted in his message.

“In the mood of celebration, I urge us to take a moment to reflect on the message of renewal that the birth of Jesus Christ signifies, promoting activities that will unite, not divide, build, not destroy, and bring peace, not conflict.

“It is also my sincere appeal that we extend hands of kindness to the needy and the weak in the society, spreading love and generosity beyond borders. That is the essence of Christmas, and no one must be left to their fate.”

Governor Adeleke noted his administration’s efforts to ease the pressure of the hard times on the people of the state. He said implementing the new minimum wage for workers and pensioners would ensure that many families have a blissful Christmas celebration.

While wishing for a hitch-free celebration and a prosperous 2025, Governor Adeleke assured the Osun people that his government will continue to pursue development projects. He noted that more investments would be made in the well-being of the Osun people to drive the expected progress next year.
