Governor Sheriff Oborevwori has sent warm greetings to the people of Delta and Nigerians on the occasion of Christmas and urged them to continuing to trust God for a more prosperous and peaceful nation.

Oborevwori, who conveyed the message of felicitation via a statement by his Chief Press Secretary,  Festus Ahon, yesterday in Asaba, urged Christians in particular to use the commemoration of the birth of Jesus Christ to offer special prayers to God for a more peaceful and united state and country.
While noting that Christmas remains “a season to show love and care for one another,” the governor encouraged Nigerians to use the season of goodwill to work for the unity and progress of the country in an atmosphere devoid of bitterness and strife.

Oborevwori, who assured of his administration’s commitment to peace, said: “On behalf of my family, the government and people of Delta State, I congratulate all Christians in the state and country as they join their brothers and sisters in faith all over the world to celebrate 2023 Christmas.

“As the world celebrates Christmas, the birth of our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ, I call on all Christians and indeed, all Deltans and Nigerians, to reflect on the virtues and teachings of Jesus Christ in their lives and activities so that our dear state, Delta, Nigeria and the world would be a better place for all mankind.
“I urge you all to make the most of this joyous occasion for serious introspection, complete spiritual rebirth, and dedication to coexisting peacefully and harmoniously with followers of other faiths.

“It is imperative that we prioritise peaceful coexistence and mutual understanding among citizens, particularly in light of the current security and economic challenges facing our nation.
