By Deborah Oladejo, Osogbo –

Osun State Governor, Ademola Adeleke, has urged Christians in the state to continue spreading God’s love during the Christmas season, describing the birth of Jesus Christ as the ultimate expression of divine love for humanity.

In a Christmas message issued through his spokesperson, Mallam Olawale Rasheed, the governor said the season offers an opportunity for gratitude to God, compassion for others—especially the less privileged—and reflection on the year’s blessings and challenges. He encouraged residents to embrace kindness, unity, and the spirit of giving that defines the festive season.

“As we rejoice this season, let us not forget the less privileged among us. I urge everyone to extend a hand of love and generosity to neighbours, friends, and strangers alike.

“In doing so, we strengthen the bonds of unity and ensure that the joy of Christmas reaches every corner of Osun. My prayer for every family this Christmas is peace, joy, and abundant blessings.

“May the light of Christ guide our steps, may love dwell richly in our homes, and may the coming year bring prosperity to all,” the governor said.

He thanked the people of Osun for their resilience, faith, and commitment to building a brighter future, noting that together, they are laying the foundation for peace and prosperity in the state.
