The Speaker, House of Representatives, Yakubu Dogara, has urged Nigerians in this Christmas celebration to imbibe the spirit of the season, which is the love of God for humanity.
In a Christmas message to Nigerians through his Special Adviser, Media and Public Affairs, Turaki Hassan, the Speaker noted that it was because of the love of God for humanity that He allowed His Son to come into the world for the ultimate goal of redemption.
He added that such selfless love is what Christians should reflect in their dealings with one another.
He stated that God’s solution to humanity’s problems was love and embracing God’s love would put an end to wanton killings, ethnic and religious clashes and other evils that retard the growth and development of the country.
Dogara urged everyone to be steadfast in prayer for Nigeria and use the occasion to practice the love of God by sharing whatever they have with the needy and underprivileged in the society.
