It is for this reason that Jesus Christ epitomizes self-sacrifice, good neighborliness, charity and reconciliation among human race. This festive season, therefore, calls for sober reflection and reaffirmation of moral rectitude as exemplified by Jesus Christ.

„I, therefore, use the opportunity of this Christmas celebration to call on all Christians in the State and in diaspora to imbibe the virtues and teachings of Jesus Christ by showing love and affection, sharing of alms with one another at all times as enshrined in the Holy Book.
