Show Love To Less Privileged, Gambo Charges Christians At Carol  

Chief of Naval Staff (CNS) Vice Admiral Awwal Zubairu Gambo has charged Christians to show love and kindness to the less privileged people beyond the Christmas season.

The CNS who was represented by the Chief of Administration Naval Headquarters,  Rear Admiral Jason Gbassa, gave the charge at the Naval Officers Wives Association (NOWA) Christmas Carol Night with the theme “the King Is Born” adding that the world is filled with greed, hatred, vengeance and hypocrisy.

He said, “As we celebrate the season, it is very apt to remember the less privileged, the vulnerable ones, families and friends but still keeping God in the centre of all these. The season is a time to actually slow down, reflect and not get carried away with the traditions of bustling holiday packed full of lights and gifts, and lose the focus of what is being celebrated, which is the birth of the King of Kings. Christmas period is therefore a time to forgive, worship and thank God.

“The significance of Christmas should not end with this period but must always be brought to bear In our daily lives, especially in this present world, filled with greed, hatred, vengeance and hypocrisy. We sincerely need to always show love and kindness not only during this period but always and as a way of life. I therefore enjoin us all to keep the spirit of love and kindness rekindled so that we uphold the reason of this special season in all our endeavours.”

He added that a New Year is the glittering light to brighten dream-line pathway of the future.
