FCT Minister, Nyesom Wike, on Tuesday called on FCT residents to rededicate their lives to the service of the Almighty God and humanity, and live in obedience with His commandments in all they do.
The Minister’s Christmas message to FCT residents, especially the Christian faithful, was contained in a Press Statement released to the media in Abuja.
The statement reads in part: “Since Jesus Christ whose birth is the reason for the celebration of Christmas obeyed the commandments of God, Christians, too, must keep the commandments, especially by showing love to people around us and teaching others to do the same.
“I congratulate all residents of the Federal Capital Territory for the grace of celebrating another Christmas. It is my prayer that the good Lord who made this possible will ensure that we all celebrate many more Christmas in good health,” the statement added.
“Once again, I also sympathize with families of victims of the recent stampede in Abuja. I pray that God in His infinite mercies will grant them fortitude to bear the irreparable loss,” Wike said.
The Minister also tasked Nigerians to pray for and support the President; expressing confidence that with the ‘Renewed Hope Agenda’ of President, things would continue to improve for the betterment of all.
