Christmas: Delta gov urges unity, promises better days ahead

As Christmas fills the nation with festivity, Delta State Governor Sheriff Oborevwori has shared a message of hope, unity, and goodwill with the people of the state.

In a statement issued by his Chief Press Secretary, Festus Ahon, on Wednesday, the governor reflected on the deeper significance of the season, emphasising the virtues of love, peace, and harmony.

Oborevwori extended warm wishes to all Deltans and Nigerians as they commemorate the birth of Jesus Christ, urging everyone to transcend divisions and focus on the collective progress of the nation.

“Christmas is not just a time for merriment but a season of reflection and renewal. It reminds us of the boundless love and selflessness Jesus Christ demonstrated during his time on Earth.

“As we celebrate this season, I urge all Deltans to embody these virtues in their daily lives by fostering unity, peace, and understanding across our state and the nation,” he remarked.

The governor called on Christians to use the occasion to pray fervently for a more peaceful and united Delta State and Nigeria.

He noted that the country is at a critical juncture and added, “With collective prayers, determination, and hard work, we can overcome the challenges we face and emerge stronger.”

Oborevwori reassured Deltans of his administration’s unwavering commitment to sustaining their welfare.

Reflecting on the progress made during the year, the governor expressed gratitude for the prevailing peace in the state, which, he said, had laid the foundation for sustainable development.
