Christmas Celebration: Lagos PDP Advocates Peace, Love, and Humility





As the residents of Lagos State join other people in the country and in the world to celebrate the Christmas, the state chapter of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) has felicitated with them.

The party said in a statement signed by its Publicity Secretary, Hon. Hakeem Amode, dated December 23, 2023, that it extends heartfelt wishes to residents, while urging them to "embody the core values of peace, love, and humility exemplified by our Lord Jesus Christ—the central figure of this joyous season."

The party then encouraged the people of Lagos to persevere and maintain hope for a brighter future despite the challenges encountered in 2023.

"Acknowledging the economic difficulties casting a shadow over this Christmas, we emphasize the importance of gratitude for the Almighty's preservation as a guiding principle.

"The commitment of the Lagos State PDP to standing with the residents and ensuring good governance in the state remains unwavering.

"The recent elections underscored the people's aspiration for the best, and we are determined to fulfill that expectation when entrusted with the opportunity," Amode said.

While recognising the hardships faced by residents, the party noted "that the state government's commitment to their welfare has been lacking." 

The Publicity Secretary however, said that "despite the challenges, let the joy of the season prevail, bearing in mind that the essence of Christmas is redemption from sin."

"As we celebrate, let us embrace qualities that foster peace, love, and unity, drawing inspiration from the humility displayed by Jesus Christ during his earthly sojourn. His selfless life, born in a humble manger, serves as a guiding light for our actions.

"In this Christmas season and beyond, let us reflect on these values, working towards a brighter future for Lagos State, the nation's commercial capital and center of excellence," he said.
