Yuletide: Hon. Leke Abejide Felicitate With Constituents »

The Member representing Yagba Federal Constituency in the Federal House of Representatives, Hon. Leke Abejide has felicitated with his constituents as they mark this year’s Christmas celebration.

In a statement signed by his media aide, Abraham Ibukun Eunice, the lawmaker enjoined Christian to give thanks to God for the divine gift of Jesus Christ the Messiah whose earthly incarnation the world commemorate today.

“As we celebrate the birth of Jesus Christ who the Prophet Isaiah heralded as the Prince of Peace and Wonderful Counselor, I believe it is very appropriate that all Christians and non-Christians alike reflect more deeply on the virtues and ideals which the Saviour espoused during his mission here on earth”.

Abejide urged the people of Yagba to offer special prayers of divine peace across communities in Kogi State and country at large.

He called on the people to dedicate their stewardship in doing all within our power to show love to the needy and donate generously to the community. He prayed for this year’s celebration to rekindle, strengthen and reaffirm our faith in our ability to overcome all challenges.

The lawmaker also appreciated his constituents for their prayers and support during his trying time of the unfortunate loss of one of his daughters, a situation that he said affected many of his plans for the period. He however assured that the empowerment program for widows across the Federal Constituency will take place before the end of the year. Other Empowerment programs initially planned for December may come after the payment of the annual WAEC Fees for students in January 2021, he added.

Hon. Leke Abejide prayed that the spirit of Christmas brings peace, hope, warmth and God’s love surround the people this season and always.
