At Christmas Carol, Kwara Deputy Governor, Clerics Pray For Nigeria

Deputy governor of Kwara State, Mr Kayode Alabi and Christian clerics have offered prayers for Nigeria to overcome its challenges.

They offered the prayers, in Ilorin, the Kwara  State capital during the 15th annual Christmas Carol of KAM Holding Limited.

In his remarks, Alabi called on Nigerians to remain patient, prayerful and steadfast in their faith, saying that national challenges 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 also 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 KAM Holding 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, the vice chairman of KAM Holding Ltd and convener of the carol, Erelu Bolanle 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.
