According
to the Speaker of the Lagos State House of Assembly, Rt. Hon. Mudashiru Obasa,
who gave this advice on Sunday, Nigeria will continue to achieve growth,
development and economic revival if the people continue to live in peace,
tolerate one another and imbibe the spirit of personal sacrifice for the
benefit of their brothers and sisters.
The
Lagos Assembly Speaker's message was contained in his Christmas message to
Nigerians, especially Christians, on the celebration of the birth of Jesus
Christ. The message was signed by his Chief Press Secretary, Musbau Rasak.
"Jesus
Christ lived a life of love, tolerance and engaging in personal sacrifice for
others to thrive. If we can take after him in these three special attributes,
this country will continue to witness development, growth and economic
revival," Rt. Hon. Obasa said.
According
to him, while government at all levels battle to contain the various challenges
facing the country, the citizens should strive to live in peace, tolerate each
other and sarifice for one another to provide the enabling environment for
government to serve them optimally.
"We
should eschew violence and desist from any action or utterances that can cause
chaos and confusion or outright breakdown of law and order in the country.
"We
should always be security conscious all the time and assist security agencies
in fighting crimes by being vigilant at all times, reporting any suspicious
individual or action to the appropriate security agency on time," the
Lagos Assembly Speaker said.
Rt.
Hon. Obasa commended Nigerians for their perseverance and continued support for
the All Progressives Congress (APC) administration at both federal and state
levels, assuring that the government will not relent in putting in place
measures and programmes that will enhance their standard of living and also
improve their welfare.
"Like
Oliver Twist, we will continue to seek for your support and prayers. I wish you
all a happy Christmas celebration," Rt. Hon. Obasa said.
