The Kogi State Commissioner For Solid Minerals and Natural Resources, Engr. Bashiru Gegu has urged Christians to reflect on the birth of Christ and imbibe His preaching on peace and love.
In a message issued to Newsmen, he said: I rejoice with all Nigerians in general and particularly every Christian family in Kogi State as we celebrate another Christmas in the land of the living. I pray that the joy associated with the season will be your portion.
The belief generally is that the joy of Christmas is not limited to His unprecedented and miraculous birth, but his personality and activities which gave credence to His birth.
Engr. Bashiru however, urged Nigerians, particularly Kogites to irrespective of their religious inclination, learn how to tolerate each other and live together as one indivisible entity.
The Commissioner particularly wished Gov. Yahaya Bello and all the members of the cabinet and all the citizens a merry Christmas as he assured of a prosperous new year.
The Commissioner praised Gov. Bello for his people oriented projects, lauded him for making the State the safest in the country, expressed optimism of a better new year.
