The Governor of Rivers State, Siminalayi Fubara, has shown felicitation to the people of the state as they indulge in Christmas celebrations, News About Nigeria reports.
The governor who spoke in a statewide broadcast in Port Harcourt to mark the 2023 Christmas celebration, noted that amid the celebrations, it was a time for sober reflections and a reminder that Jesus Christ is the reason for the season.
He pointed out that the birth of Jesus came with lessons that are necessary for the navigation of life’s journey on earth, adding that these qualities all work together to make God the Almighty, and therefore what he expects from mankind is to emulate his qualities of simplicity and humility.
He therefore urged the people to be reminded of the teachings of Jesus Christ, which include selflessness, love for one another, and the inexhaustible will to forgive one another.
The governor further reiterated his commitment to deliver on the promises of his administration, thanking the people of the state and beyond for their support and trust in his administration.
“As I had earlier promised, the mantra of our administration is continuity and consolidation. I wish to reiterate that nothing shall constrain us from our path in our commitment to provide a steady flow of the dividends of democracy in all positive ramifications for our people,” he said.
He also expressed his appreciation to President Bola Tinubu for intervening in the crisis that has been trying to rock the state recently, resulting in the prevailing peace in the state.
