From Joseph Amedu, Lokoja
As we celebrate this season of joy, love, and hope, Governor Ahmed Usman Ododo of Kogi has extended his heartfelt Christmas greetings to the people of the state.
Ododo in his season’s message which was made available to Journalists in Lokoja on Wednesday, said that Christmas is a time to reflect on the boundless love of God, exemplified through the birth of Jesus Christ, whose life inspires us to embrace compassion, generosity, and unity.
“This season reminds us of the values that bind us together as a community—peace, tolerance, and the unwavering spirit of resilience. Let us use this time to show kindness to one another, especially to those in need, and to strengthen the bonds of love and friendship within our families and neighborhoods.
“As we prepare to usher in a new year, I reaffirm my commitment to the growth and prosperity of our dear state. Together, we will continue to build a Kogi State where every citizen has the opportunity to thrive and contribute meaningfully to our collective progress.
“May the joy of Christmas fill your hearts and homes, and may this season bring renewed hope, good health, and abundant blessings to you all.
“Merry Christmas, and may Kogi State and Nigeria experience peace and prosperity in the coming year”
