While rejoicing with Nigerian Christians for marking this year’s Christmas, Gbajabiamila called on them to imbibe the teachings of Jesus Christ, whom he described as a role model to all.

In his Christmas message delivered by his media aide, Lanre Lasisi in a statement on Thursday, Gbajabiamila noted that Nigerians should also use the period to pray for their leaders for God’s guidance.

He said that the occasion calls for sober reflection, noting that Nigerians must be their brothers’ keepers at all times.

Gbajabiamila added that despite their different backgrounds, Nigerians “must work towards achieving the dreams of our founding fathers, who made a lot of sacrifices for us to be one.”

He said the year 2020 came with the Covid-19 challenge but that with prayers and observance of the established protocols, “the country shall overcome it in the end.”

The Speaker wished all Nigerian Christians and other citizens happy celebrations, calling for caution while celebrating.
