Deputy Governor of Edo State, Dennis Idahosa, has called on residents of the state to embrace unity, love and renewed hope as Christians celebrate Christmas.
The deputy governor emphasised that Christmas represents values that unite people, regardless of tribe, religion or politics, promoting compassion, generosity and peace.
He described the birth of Jesus Christ as a timeless reminder of the values of peace, sacrifice and compassion, which he said were critical to societal growth and harmonious coexistence.
Idahosa urged Edo people to take advantage of the festive season to strengthen communal ties, extend goodwill to the less privileged and recommit themselves to the collective development of the state, noting that Christmas underscores the importance of shared humanity and collective responsibility in building a prosperous society.
