Ebonyi State Governor, Francis Nwifuru, has urged political office holders to use the yuletide to extend love and kindness to the less privileged around them.
In his Christmas message to the people, Nwifuru said the season should characterise love, kindness and generosity.
“This is a season of joy, reflection, and gratitude; a time to come together as families, friends, and communities to celebrate the hope and love that this special time of the year represents
“By doing this, we can embody the true spirit of the season by lifting one another up and spreading goodwill throughout our dear state.
“Commemorating the birth of our lord and saviour, Jesus Christ, reminds us of the power of giving, compassion, and unity,” he said.
He commended the citizens of the state for their steadfastness in joining him to execute the social contract with them.
“As we look back on the year, I am filled with pride and gratitude for the resilience and strength of our people.
“Despite the challenges we may face, your dedication, hard work, and unwavering spirit make our state a better place for everyone.
The Governor assured that his administration would continue to initiate policies and projects that will enhance the well-being of the people.
