Christmas: Embrace brotherly love, kindness- Jandor tells Lagosians
The 2023 Lagos Governorship Candidate of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), Dr. Abdul-Azeez Olajide Adediran (JANDOR), has urged Lagosians to embrace brotherly love and kindness as the world celebrates Christmas, which commemorates the birth of Jesus Christ.
Adediran gave the charge in his Christmas message signed by his Spokesman, Gbenga Ogunleye on Tuesday.
He described Christmas as a celebration of a renewed relationship between God and humanity. He noted that it is a memorial of God’s love when He gave His all to express His care for mankind. He emphasized that Lagosians should focus on the message of love, peace, and sacrifice that Jesus preached during His time on earth.
He stated that everyone should love their neighbors as themselves, do good to them, and wish them well, regardless of their faith.
According to him, the state cannot progress until everyone understands that what benefits one person should also benefit others. “We must be our brothers’ keepers by showing love and seeking peace with all mankind, as Jesus taught,” he said.
He further emphasized that religious harmony, peace, and unity are essential ingredients for development to thrive. He called on religious leaders to consistently preach the message of love, peace, and good neighborliness to make society a better and safer place for all.
Earlier in the year, Adediran provided various forms of assistance to alleviate hardship among the people. In July, August, and September, he gifted over 300 party members with cash support to cushion the effects of the current economic challenges.
Additionally, he donated vehicles for hailing businesses (Uber) to five party members, set up a block industry for a resident in Epe, and provided an electric wheelchair to an individual with a physical disability, among other initiatives.
He reassured Lagosians of the ultimate triumph of light over darkness, as Jesus triumphed and reigned.
Adediran described the current economic hardship as a passing phase and expressed hope for a “breath of fresh air” in Lagos State.
He wished all Lagosians a merry Christmas and a prosperous new year.
