A Chieftain of the All Progressives Congress, APC, Hon. Busari Yakub otherwise known as Donbay, has felicitated with Christians in Oyo State and particularly in Saki West, Saki East and ATISBO federal constituency on the occasion of this year’s Christmas celebration, urging them to follow Jesus Christ’s example of compassion and tolerance.
Donbay who described the birth of Jesus Christ as a defining moment for mankind, said the festive season is a solemn reminder of the power of love and how it can save humanity.
While recognising unity and togetherness as an important message that Jesus Christ’s life resonates, Busari Yakub charges Oyo people, particularly Christians, to draw from the spiritual import of the celebration by sharing love and fostering harmony in communities.
“I extend my warm wishes to Christian faithful in Oyo state and especially the people of Saki West, Saki East and ATISBO federal constituency as we mark this year’s Christmas. The birth of Jesus Christ is a manifestation of the power of love and remind us of the essence of compassion,” he noted in his message.
“In the mood of celebration, I urge us to take a moment to reflect on the message of renewal that the birth of Jesus Christ signifies, promoting activities that will unite not divide, build not destroy, and bring peace not conflict.
“It is also my sincere appeal that we extend hands of kindness to the needy and the weak in the society, spreading love and generosity beyond borders. That is the essence of Christmas and it is most essential that at a time like this, no one is left to their fate.”
The APC chieftain who noted the present administration’s efforts under the leadership of President Bola Ahmed Tinubu to ease the pressure of hard time on the people of the country, said programs of the present administration will ensure that many families have a blissful Christmas celebration.
While wishing for hitch-free celebration and prosperous 2026, he assured people that Tinubu led government will continue to pursue development projects, noting that more investments in the wellbeing of nation will be made so as to drive the expected progress next year.
