The speaker of the Nasarawa State House of Assembly, Danladi Jatau, has urged Christians and other Nigerians to continue to show love to one another and embrace peace and unity.

The speaker made the call in his Christmas message during the church service at ECWA GoodNews Garaku, Kokona LGA, on Wednesday.

Mr Jatau also called on Christians and other Nigerians to provide succour to the less privileged in society to better their standard of living.

The speaker said Christmas is a time of gratitude, prayer, and renewal of faith, as well as a time to celebrate love with one another.

“Christmas is a period for us to show ourselves love and affection and give to the needy in society. Let’s share with others, especially the less privileged ones, what we have.

”This will not only give them a sense of belonging but will also improve their standard of living,” Mr Jatau said.

The speaker donated N1,460,000 for the development of the church.

Mr Jatau called on the people of Kokona LGA and the state at large to continue to support Governor Abdullahi Sule to succeed.

The speaker also urged the people of the state to continue living in unity and peace and to tolerate one another irrespective of their affiliations.

Earlier, Bitrus Kaya, the reverend-in-charge of ECWA GoodNews, Garaku, urged Christians to embrace forgiveness and shun sinful acts to enter the kingdom of God.
