“More than ever before, now is the time to make these virtues of brotherly love, honesty and peaceful co-existence evident and practical in our daily lives.
“Let us seize this occasion to pray for the prosperity, peace and unity of Nigeria as this period calls for introspection and continued prayers for our dear nation. I, therefore, call on Nigerians to continue to reflect on the positive tenets that unite us as a nation and strengthen the polity.
“On behalf of my family, I wish the citizens and residents of our dear State, especially those of the Christian faith, a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year ahead,” Oyetola said.
