As the Christians celebrate the birth of Jesus Christ today, an ally of Governor Seyi Makinde, Hon Barr Rita Odichimma Orji urged Nigerians to let the commemoration of Christmas cause hope to well up in their hearts.
The political icon made the remark in her 2025 Christmas message. She said I felicitate with constituents, especially our Christian brothers and sisters across Lagos State and indeed, all Nigerians at home and in diaspora on this joyous celebration of Christmas.
The birth of Jesus which we are celebrating is a fulfilment of what had been written by the Prophets , that the Saviour would be born, Even though it seemed like its manifestation was delayed, the promise was realised.
Similarly, we have expectations and perhaps, promises that are yet to be realised, individually and collectively as a Nation. Let the birth of Jesus be a reminder that what was foretold will definitely come to pass.
Let the commemoration of Christmas cause hope to well up within each and every one of us, hope of aspirations fulfilled and attainment of the Nigeria of our dreams.
As we celebrate, let continue to reflect on the love , kindness and virtues of peace which the birth and life of Jesus teaches us, extending the goodwill that we have so freely received to others around us.
